Series BC1570_A_A1: Florence versus Broadcount Investments
Date: 1995-2014 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
The Florence family were dispossessed of their Rondebosch family home in 1970 as a result of discriminatory apartheid policies (Group Area Act). The matter was heard in the Land Claims Court (LCC 148/2008) and went to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA 550//2012). Isobel Florence then took the matter to the Constitutional Court to test whether the CPI (Consumer Price Index) was an appropriate measure to determine compensation in such cases.

Subseries BC1570_A_A2_A2.3: CLRA constitutionality challenge
Scope and content:
The LRC undertook on behalf of various rural communities to investigate the legal merits of challenging the constitutional validity of the Communal Land Rights Act (CLRA) of 2004. The challenge hinged on two arguments. Substantively, the Act undermined security of tenure, and particularly the tenure of women. Procedurally, the Act was passed in great haste before the 2004 elections, with very little consultation, and was tagged as a section 75 bill, not a section 76 bill, so a process of provincial consultation did not take place.
