An Analysis of the Role of Pension Funds Adjudicator in South Africa
This article examines the adjudication of complaints at the Office of the Pension Funds Adjudicator. The article looks at the appointment, powers and functions of the Adjudicator. Members are often not aware of what constitutes a complaint in terms of the Act and accordingly refer frivolous complaints to the Office of the Pension Funds Adjudicator causing unnecessary backlog. The article argued that the insertion of chapter VA has been successful in disposing complaints in procedurally fair, economical and expeditious manners. There are however, disputes that appear to fall within the jurisdiction of the Pension Funds Adjudicator and the Commission, Mediation and Arbitration, in order to evade confusion, this article shall determine which matters are out of the Jurisdiction of the Pension Funds Adjudicator so that members can lodge complaints with the appropriate and relevant forum. The article highlights the time-barring provisions and the implications thereof on the resolution of complaints in terms of the Act. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2013.v4n13p817

The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice ten years on: Successes and future challenges under the Stockholm Programme. CEPS Paperbacks. June 2010
This book celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) by bringing together the views of key practitioners and policy-makers who have played an outstanding role in thinking about and shaping EU policies on freedom, security and justice. 
 
Ten years ago, the member states transferred competences to the EU for law and policy-making in the fields of immigration, asylum and border controls, and began the transfer process for criminal justice and policing. This decade of European cooperation on AFSJ policies has experienced very dynamic convergence, the enactment of a large body of European law and the setting-up of numerous EU agencies working in these domains. Such dynamism in policy-making has not been without challenges and vulnerabilities, however. As this collective volume shows, the main dilemmas that lie ahead relate to an effective (while more plural) institutional framework under the Treaty of Lisbon, stronger judicial scrutiny through a greater role for national courts and the Court of Justice in Luxembourg, better mechanisms for evaluating and monitoring the implementation of EU AFSJ law and a more solid fundamental rights strategy. The contributions in this volume address the progress achieved so far in these policy areas, identify the challenges for future European cooperation in the AFSJ and put forward possible paths for making more progress in the next generation of the EU’s AFSJ.
