Special Appropriation Act, 2024

The text provided is not a court judgment but a published Act of Parliament in the Government Gazette. It records that the President assented on 20 December 2024 to the Special Appropriation Act, 2024, which appropriates an additional amount of money from the National Revenue Fund for the requirements of the State during the 2024/25 financial year. Section 1 provides for the additional appropriations as set out in the Schedule and states that the provisions of the Appropriation Act, 2024 (Act No. 40 of 2024), apply with the necessary changes. Section 2 gives the short title of the Act.

• No judicial legal issues can be extracted because the provided text is legislation rather than a court judgment.
• The Act itself legislatively authorises additional appropriations from the National Revenue Fund for the 2024/25 financial year.

No court order was made. The legal effect of the text is that the Special Appropriation Act, 2024 came into force as an Act of Parliament after presidential assent, appropriating additional funds for the 2024/25 financial year as set out in the Schedule.

Not available. There is no ratio decidendi because no court decided any legal issue.

Not available. There are no obiter dicta because the text is not a judgment.

The document is significant not as precedent but as primary legislation in South African public finance. It authorises additional expenditure from the National Revenue Fund for the 2024/25 financial year and operates alongside the Appropriation Act, 2024. Its importance lies in fiscal governance and parliamentary control over public expenditure under South Africa’s constitutional budgeting framework, rather than in jurisprudential development.
