Abstract

Can one square the invariably raucous natures of demonstrations and gatherings, and the fundamental right to assembly, with the imposition of strict liability upon the organizers for any harm to person or damage to property caused by an assembly, demonstration and gathering? The South African Constitutional Court in Garvis1 suggests that one can. This article contends that a court cannot.
