DEMERIT SYSTEM:
A "Demerit" system for traffic infringements becomes active September 2003. It will be good to familiarise yourself with the system so it does not catch up with you when it becomes active. This system will be applied countrywide. Demerit points will be allocated for infringements/traffic offences. Penalty units will determine the amount of the fine.

DEMERIT POINTS:
Each person has 0 points at the start of the system.
Each person can build up to 12 points
Every point exceeding 12 points = Suspension of licence. Points reduce at 1 point every 3 "infringement free" months. Should your licence be suspended 3 times, the licence will be CANCELLED.
If the vehicle belongs to a Juristic person (e.g. bank, FML company etc), the Juristic person will not be given any demerit points, but the PENALTY units will be multiplied by three

PENALTY UNITS:
At present a penalty unit is R50,00. Here are some examples of the penalties and demerits likely to be implemented.
Motor vehicle not registered - Infringement - 10 penalty units (R500.00) plus 2 demerit points.
Driver does not have his licence in the vehicle - Infringement -10 penalty units (R500.00) plus 2 demerit points.
No Seatbelt - Infringement - 5 penalty units (R250.00) plus 1 demerit point.
Not stopping at a stop sign - Infringement - 15 penalty units (R750.00) plus 3 demerit points
Overloading by 25% - Infringement - 25 penalty units (R1250.00) plus 3 demerit points
Rear Lamps not working - Infringement - 10 penalty units (R500.00) plus 2 demerit points

From Scuplture to Vision to Reality

This week we focus our special report on a remarkable building which is rising on the Öresund shoreline in Sweden.

	The vision of Turning Torso is based on a sculpture of the architect Santiago Calatrava. But it was HSB Malmö's MD Johnny Örbäck who had the vision. He saw the sculpture in a brochure presenting Santiago Calatrava submitted with his contribution to the architect competition for the Öresund Bridge in June 1999. The sculpture was Twisting Torso - with cubes twisting in a fascinating way from top to bottom, which Johnny Örbäck realised would become a wonderful building. A few months later Johnny Örbäck went to Zurich to meet Santiago Calatrava, and after some initial reluctance, managed to convince Santiago Calatrava to design a building based on this concept - Turning Torso. Turning Torso will be 190m tall consisting of nine cubes with five storeys in each. There will be 54 floors altogether including the intermediate floors. Each storey will have about 400m2 living space. There will be 150 apartments between cube three and nine. Each floor will consist of a square area around the centre, and a triangular part partially supported by an external steel support. The entire construction twists 90 degrees on its way up.

WHEN DOES A VARIATION BECOME A SEPARATE CONTRACT?
Variations Clause
Most standard forms of contract include a clause under which the employer or his representative is able to issue an instruction to the contractor to vary the works which are described in the contract. A change in shape of the scheme, the introduction of different materials, revised timing and sequence are all usually provided for by the variations clause. It will also usually include a mechanism for evaluating the financial effect of the variation and there is normally provision for adjusting the completion date. In the absence of such a clause the employer could be in a difficulty should a variation to the works be required. The contractor could either refuse to carry out the work or undertake the work and insist upon payment on a quantum meruit or fair valuation basis. Calculation of the price for the extra work applying this method could involve payment well in excess of the contract rates.
(©www.jrknowles.com)

Click here to view and comment on clauses developed by a group of our members in the Vaal to address problems experienced by variations on contracts.

Constructive Acceleration Claims
If a contractor is not granted the extension of time to which he is entitled, he may be faced with the possibility of liquidated damages being levied against him. He has a stark choice. He can continue to work as planned and (presumably) efficiently in the hope that a proper extension of time will be granted by the Architect / Engineer ("A/E"). Alternatively he can accept that he is in default, at least temporarily, and increase resources and reorganise the work.
