PRIVACY · S.37 NDPA 2023 CASE FILE EVIDENCE FILED
The real-world context

Data privacy disputes are reaching the courts

Across Africa, data protection disputes are raising important questions about evidence, legal procedure, judicial interpretation and the protection of fundamental rights.

Evidence

What proves a privacy violation — and how is it preserved so it survives scrutiny?

Legal procedure

Which court, which action, and what must be in place before a suit is filed?

Judicial interpretation

How are courts reading the NDPA 2023 alongside constitutional privacy rights?

Fundamental rights

What do recent decisions mean for individuals and organisations across African society?
