The Small Claims Court continues to serve an important role in providing access to affordable civil litigation. Where the value of a claim is relatively low, traditional litigation processes may not always be commercially viable. For qualifying claims, the Small Claims Court provides an alternative forum for dispute resolution. Some of the features of the Small Claims Court include: • Easy and speedy dispute resolution. • Courts generally sit after hours. • No legal representation is permitted. • Limited costs. • Judgments are deemed to be judgments of the Magistrate's Court. • Commissioners actively assist parties during proceedings. The Small Claims Court remains an important mechanism through which natural persons may pursue qualifying claims for money owed to them.

The new amendments to the areas of jurisdiction of the High Court and specifically the Gauteng Division. Government Gazette 54935 introduced changes to the areas under the jurisdiction of the Gauteng Divisions of the High Court, effective from 1 July 2026. Although the notice affects other Divisions of the High Court, the most substantial impact appears to be on the Gauteng Divisions. Some of the concerns arising from the notice include: • The concurrent jurisdiction of the Pretoria and Johannesburg Divisions has been removed. • The notice only makes provision for proceedings already placed on the trial roll. • No reference is made to proceedings not currently enrolled for trial or to applications. • Uncertainty, therefore, remains regarding certain existing matters. • Any need to move proceedings between Divisions may result in additional legal costs. These changes highlight the importance of correctly identifying jurisdiction when instituting proceedings.
