Tshabalala v Tshabalala

Last updated

In Tshabalala v Tshabalala, an important case in the South African law of succession, the will in question comprised two pages, but the commissioner signed only the second page and neglected to sign the first page, which actually contained the contents of the will. The will was thus rejected.

The testator’s granddaughter (the sole heiress in the will) sought an order from the court declaring the will valid. The court held that the will did not comply with the statutory formalities, and was thus invalid; accordingly, the deceased was held to have died intestate.

Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court on campaign finance. A majority of justices held that, as provided by section 608 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, limits on election expenditures are unconstitutional. In a per curiam opinion, they ruled that expenditure limits contravene the First Amendment provision on freedom of speech because a restriction on spending for political communication necessarily reduces the quantity of expression. It limited disclosure provisions and limited the Federal Election Commission's power. Justice Byron White dissented in part and wrote that Congress had legitimately recognized unlimited election spending "as a mortal danger against which effective preventive and curative steps must be taken".
