1. On 2 June 2008, the Constitutional Court, in Nyathi v Member of the Executive Council of Department of Health, Gauteng and Another 2008 (5) SA 94 (CC), declared section 3 of the State Liability Act 20 of 1957, as amended, unconstitutional to the extent that the section, which prohibits attachment, execution or any similar process against state property for judgment debts sounding in money, did not allow for an express procedure for the satisfaction of judgment debts. The Court, however, suspended the declaration of invalidity for 12 months to allow Parliament to pass legislation providing for the effective enforcement of court orders.
