Pretoria - A full bench of the Gauteng high court has given the Road Accident Fund a reprieve of 180 days in which to pay claims.
The RAF, in the meantime, was ordered to take all reasonable steps to register court orders or written settlement agreements for claims on its list of payments, in order of the date on which the court order was granted or the date of the settlement agreement. Numerous law firms and sheriffs across the country were cited as respondents in the application, while the General Council of the Bar and the Pretoria Attorneys Association joined the proceedings as a friend of the court.
The RAF accepted that its systems and processes have in the past been antiquated, and that its employees were a major part of the problem. Letsoalo said continuing with old structures that were in place before his appointment would increase the fund’s exposure to claimants on a virtually daily basis while increasing its factual insolvency.
