Cases and Outcomes
By admin 85 Comments

On 21 September 2021, MMA was admitted as an amicus curiae in Blind SA v Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition (14996/21), during the High Court hearing in this matter. MMA supports the relief sought by the Applicant and submits that the Copyright Act limits the ability of persons with visual and print disabilities to meaningfully and on an equal basis advance their rights to freedom of expression and access to information.especially protected against SLAPP suits. Permitting a SLAPP suit against a journalist does not conform to the positive constitutional obligation to protect the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of the press.
