dbo:abstract
  • The Chief Justice of South Africa is the most senior judge of the Constitutional Court and head of the judiciary of South Africa, who exercises final authority over the functioning and management of all the courts. The position of Chief Justice was created upon the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910, with the Chief Justice of the Cape Colony, Sir (John) Henry de Villiers (later created The 1st Baron de Villiers), being appointed the first Chief Justice of the newly created Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa. Until 1961, the Chief Justice held a dormant commission as Officer Administering the Government, meaning that if the Governor-General died or was incapacitated the Chief Justice would exercise the powers and duties of the Governor-General. This commission was invoked in 1943 under N.J. de Wet, and in 1959 and 1961 under L.C. Steyn. (en)
  • Le Chef Justice d'Afrique du Sud, est le magistrat le plus ancien de la Cour constitutionnelle et le chef du pouvoir judiciaire d'Afrique du Sud, qui exerce l'autorité finale sur le fonctionnement et la gestion de tous les tribunaux. Le poste de Chef Justice a été créé lors de la formation de l'Union d'Afrique du Sud en 1910, lorsque le Chief Justice de la colonie du Cap, Sir (John) Henry de Villiers (devenu plus tard le 1er baron de Villiers) a été nommé premier Chef Justice de la nouvelle division d'appel de la Cour suprême d'Afrique du Sud. Jusqu'en 1961, le Chef Justice détenait une commission inactive en tant qu'officier administrant le gouvernement, ce qui signifie que si le gouverneur général décédait ou était frappé d'incapacité, le juge en chef exercerait les pouvoirs et fonctions du gouverneur général. Cette commission a été invoquée en 1943 sous Nicolaas Jacobus de Wet, et en 1959 et 1961 sous Lucas Cornelius Steyn. (fr)
