The Legal Practice Council (LPC) has confirmed it is investigating Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe s attorney, Barnabas Xulu, for misconduct following a scathing contempt of court ruling given against him.

Hlophe's attorney found in contempt of court, fined R30K


The matter stems from Xulu’s multimillion-rand fee dispute with the department.
Last January, the high court found BXI had unlawfully been paid about R20 million in legal fees by the department and ordered he repay it by 30 April.
It was found by Judge Owen Rogers that BXI had received the payments for work done based on invalid writs of execution and notices of attachment, as the department was entitled to free legal advice from the state attorney.
Rogers also found that the court’s writs of execution were not checked for compliance with the State Liability Act – the act governing work done by any contractor on behalf of the state. ....

Hlophe lawyer Barnabas Xulu found in contempt of court,...


Over and above this, acting Western Cape High Court Judge M Pangarker ordered Xulu and his firm, Barnabas Xulu Incorporated (BXI), to pay the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries’ (DEFF) legal costs and has also referred the judgment to the Legal Practice Council.
Pangarker said that the country’s Constitution recognised the supremacy of the rule of law as one of the core values upon which South Africa was founded
“Civil contempt, which is at the heart of the matter, is the crime of disrespect to the court and the rule of law.”
Citing a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling, the judge said that contempt of a court order “is the violation of the dignity, authority and reputation of the court”. ....
