Abstract/Summary

Ray’s Nuanced Thesis Brian Ray has produced a remarkable and sophisticated paper analysing the recent Constitutional Court decisions on evictions. Ray focuses on the adjudication techniques employed by the Constitutional Court and situates the discussion in light of the debate around the appropriate judicial role in socio-economic rights cases.1 His thesis is multi-layered. In essence, he argues that the Constitutional Court’s approach is one that often avoids directly providing strong substantive content to constitutional provisions. Instead, the Court uses a variety of ‘avoidance techniques’ which are procedural in nature yet often produce pro-poor outcomes.
