6. The Committee notes that the Association of Regional Court Magistrates of Southern Africa (ARMSA) challenged the 2011 determination for regional court presidents and regional magistrates on review: On 3 September 2012, Bertelsmann J in Association of Regional Court Magistrates of Southern Africa v the President of the Republic of South Africa and Others (2010/11)[2012] ZAGPPHC 186 held that the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office-Bearers had failed to comply with section 8(6) of the Independent Commission for the Remuneration of Public Office-Bearers Act 92 of 199 and set aside the determination in part and referred to the President to reconsider his decision. The Court however upheld the decision relating to a 5% salary increase for regional magistrates and regional court presidents with effect from 1 April 2010 so that these magistrates would not receive the lower salary in the meantime. The decision was taken to the Constitutional Court, being argued recently. The Committee understands that judgement is pending.
