Reported
The court refused leave to appeal, finding the respondent lawfully adopted an English‑primary language policy consistent with s29(2).
Constitutional law – right to education (section 29(2)) – meaning of "reasonably practicable" – requires consideration of equity, practicability and redress of past racial discrimination. Administrative law – PAJA applicability – institutional policy‑making by university council is executive, not PAJA administrative action; review available under doctrine of legality. Higher Education Act – section 27(2) – institutional language policy must be determined "subject to" ministerial framework but framework itself is situational and constrained by the Constitution. Standing – AfriForum (association) has standing; trade union (Solidarity) failed to show sufficient interest. Language policy – multilingualism, transformation and prevention of inadvertent racial segregation as constitutionally relevant factors.

Evidence — s 30(1)-(2): historical, expert and oral evidence admissible and assessed by ordinary fact-finding rules, with generous, purposive interpretation of statute. Pleadings — functional and permissive approach appropriate in historical land claims.

Reported
The applicant’s claim prescribed: s12(3) requires knowledge of debtor identity and facts, not legal wrongfulness.
Prescription – Interpretation of s 12(3) of the Prescription Act – Knowledge required before debt is ‘deemed to be due’ – Section requires knowledge of identity of debtor and facts from which debt arises, not legal conclusions (wrongfulness/actionability). Special case (rule 33) – court confined to agreed facts and legal questions; may not decide issues or draw factual inferences not in the stated case. Constitutional considerations – dissent favours a purposive, Constitution‑consistent interpretation to protect vulnerable claimants lacking knowledge of claims.

• Contract law – interpretation – whether a written demand clause constitutes a condition precedent to a debt becoming "due" for prescription purposes.

Reported
Section 20A does not arbitrarily deprive the applicant’s members of property nor unlawfully limit their trade; declaration of invalidity set aside.
