“A VERITABLE CESSPOOL OF LAWLESSNESS”: HANDHAWING VAN
ONPARTYDIGHEID EN DEKORUM IN SUID-AFRIKAANSE REGSPRAAK
Die onpart ydige beslegting van gesk ille deur die regban k is ’n grondliggende kenmer k van ’n legitieme
en beskaafde reg sisteem. Hierdie begin sel is onheuglik tot die Su id-Afrikaans e reg en ontspruit uit die
Romeins-Holla ndse stelreël nemo iude x in sua causa potest (niemand is g eskik om as ’n regter in hul
eie saak op te tr ee nie). Sedert 1996 word regterlike o npar tydigheid deur d ie grondwet onderskr yf wat,
tesame met die gem enereg en ’n ryk regspraak , regterlike onpar tydigheid reël.
