Five appeal judges declares Law Society malicious & Vindictive. Peet Viljoen speaks out.

What Really Happened When the Law Society “Closed Shop” – Peet Viljoen Explains the Truth About the LPC 📜 Description: When South Africa’s Law Societies were dissolved in 2018, thousands of attorneys were left in limbo — and few people truly understood what that meant for pending cases, disciplinary hearings, or reinstatements. In this episode, Peet Viljoen, a South African lawyer who fought and won against disbarment, breaks down what really happened when the Legal Practice Act came into effect. He explains how the old Law Society of the Northern Provinces and others were legally dissolved, and how a new body — the Legal Practice Council (LPC) — was created. But here’s the twist: The LPC is not a continuation of the old Law Societies. It’s a new statutory body that took over their files — not their identity. ✅ Peet explains: • What Section 116 of the Legal Practice Act really says • How pending cases were transferred to the LPC • Why the LPC cannot “reopen” old disciplinary matters already decided by the courts • What this means for lawyers wrongly targeted by the old system 💬 “They shut down the Law Society. It’s gone. The LPC took the files — but it’s not the same institution.” — Peet Viljoen [email protected] ⸻ 🎧 Watch the full episode and learn the truth about how South Africa’s legal system changed — and how Peet’s case became one of the most significant examples of judicial fairness under the new regime. #LegalPracticeCouncil #LawSociety #PeetViljoen #SouthAfricaLaw #Justice #Podcast #LegalReform #Truth #LPA #Lawyers #SouthAfricanLaw #LegalPodcast
