Good day sir,
I am interested in your posting for a Stokvel agreement.
I obtained an engineering degree in 1980 at RAU, now the University of Johannesburg. I first obtained a B. Proc. law degree in 1985 from the University of Pretoria. I then obtained a LLB law degree from the University of Pretoria in 1990. I passed the Pretoria Bar exam and became a member of the Pretoria Bar or Pretoria Society of Advocates in April 1991. I practised as an advocate for 24 years. I did a course in intellectual property. I did several patent cases as part of my practice at the Pretoria Bar. I was also involved in a wide range of criminal and civil cases over the period of 24 years. I also have experience in Labour Law. I did a course in alternative dispute resolution presented by AFSA (The Arbitration Foundation of South Africa) and the University of Pretoria. This course included arbitration, mediation and facilitation. In this course, a lot of attention was given to the FICA standard construction contract. At the end of the course, I wrote the exam and passed. I was subsequently awarded a certificate by the University of Pretoria in alternative dispute resolution. I gave several legal opinions for clients in the USA regarding patent infringement, copyright and anti-slap legislation. I also gave opinions for clients in Norway regarding the GNU license.
Regards,
Deon P Hugo.
