The Road Accident Fund RAF has been compelled by the Klerksdorp Regional Court to comply with all valid and existing court orders granted in favour of 209 road accident victims, and to pay them a combined total of more than R47.3 million within 30 days.
Regional Court Magistrate MB Mamana further ruled, in a judgment handed down last week, that in the event of non-compliance, the applicants/claimants are granted leave to approach the court for further relief, including contempt of court proceedings.
The judgment was prompted by law firm Theron, Jordaan Smit Inc, acting on behalf of the claimants, which launched an application to compel the RAF to comply with multiple final court orders already granted in favour of each of the road accident claimants.
