Johannesburg - The Constitutional Court’s judgment to change the management of emoluments attachment orders, also known as garnishee orders, is regarded as a “100% win” for indebted people in South Africa, according to Odette Geldenhuys, a senior associate at Webber Wentzel.

Geldenhuys is the pro bono attorney for the applicants who initially brought the case in the Western Cape High Court last year. She told Fin24 she is pleased with the outcome of the case on Tuesday.
