DA calls on the public to join OUTA’s e-toll defence umbrella
8 September 2016
The DA calls on each and every Gauteng resident who refuses to pay e-tolls to join the defence umbrella of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA).
This comes after SANRAL agreed to stay all legal claims against members of the public who either already are, or will in future become OUTA members. SANRAL will, however, continue with legal action against e-toll defaulters who are not members of OUTA.
The agreed stay is granted until the test case process, which started in June 2016, is completed – which may take up to two years. The test case revolves around OUTA’s aim to show that e-tolls are unlawful and should be scrapped.
OUTA’s defence umbrella aims to defend every case of e-toll prosecution of the organisation’s members, and to support businesses and members of the public who are afraid of individual prosecution for their resistance against e-tolls.
