30th Annual International Private Client Tax Conference: transforming (un)expected challenges into opportunities for the next 30 years
Dec 21, 2023
Like many regulators around the world, the South African Competition Commission is increasingly turning to its power to conduct market inquiries as a measure to not only better understand the dynamics of markets that may be operating inefficiently, but also as a tool for ex ante regulation of market conduct without the rigour of a full-blown prosecution involving the adversarial testing of evidence. Especially in the case of novel and fast-moving markets in the new digital economy, a slew of market inquiries have culminated in pointed and interventionist ‘remedies’. A key procedural question is the extent to which remedies from a market inquiry are capable of direct enforcement on their face or whether the Commission’s powers are more muted, requiring sector-specific regulation within the four corners of enabling legislation, or follow-on prosecution by the Commission for prohibited conduct. Despite the perceived urgent need to regulate markets that move faster than prosecution in the ordinary course, and tempting analogies to be drawn with the constitutionally imbued powers of the Public Protector, the writers caution against a purposive interpretation that may trammel the rights of respondent companies in complex circumstances at least once removed from a vertical application of the Bill of Rights.
This panel will explore the transformative potential of digital health solutions within the life sciences industry, how technologies such as AI, telehealth, wearable devices, and digital therapeutics are revolutionizing drug development, personalized medicine, and patient care. The panel will also address the challenges of data integration, regulatory compliance, and the evolving landscape of global health data privacy laws. Attendees will gain insights into emerging trends and innovations that are shaping the future of healthcare and life sciences, and learn how to leverage these technologies to improve patient outcomes and drive industry growth

Miles-long petrol queues, empty shop shelves and fields that produce only half the crops they used to: these are the more obvious signifiers of Sri Lanka’s current economic crisis. The less visible are the meals citizens are beginning to miss as a result of unaffordable food and the time at school children are missing as the country tries to save power.
Virgin Australian Airlines appointed insolvency administrators on 20 April 2020, when its debt-servicing burden became unsustainable.

But in the present pandemic, the Virgin aircraft financiers were in no hurry: no-one was lining up to lease aircraft.
