The new IBA EU Judicial Cooperation Subcommittee – first year in review and plans ahead

Procedural fairness and asymmetry in access to evidence in South Africa
Across the world, advances in technology have streamlined the collection and storage of evidence, having an effect on the legal process overall. With the rising complexity of these technologies, we see the deepening of the divide between those in South Africa who have true access to justice and those who have a stunted version.

This article will examine how technological development may affect procedural fairness and offer recommendations to avoid unfairness.
