Annexure C Technical Indicator Description PART A: KEY CONCEPTS Amount involved The amount involved in a corruption case is the amount that is stated in the charge sheet. Case In the NPA a case includes criminal court cases and civil court cases. These concepts are defined as: Criminal Court Case - is a matter that has been enrolled in a criminal court of South Africa regardless of the forum. At present, excluded from criminal court cases are traffic matters not contained in a police docket, domestic violence matters as far as they do not form part of a police docket, maintenance inquiries, appeals, civil motions, inquests, decision dockets, reviews and ex parte applications. A criminal court case may have multiple counts and/or accused and can involve multiple police dockets. A single docket may result in multiple court cases. Civil Court Case - is a civil matter that has been enrolled in a court of South Africa regardless of the forum. This includes ex parte applications or applications on Notice. It includes motion and trial proceedings. Examples are restraint, preservation, forfeiture and confiscation applications. It also includes interlocutory applications relating to living and legal expenses and curators in civil matters. Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods (ADRM) - alternative dispute resolution encompasses the following methods for the resolution of disputes between the parties. Within the NPA this includes Diversion and Informal Mediation: Diversion - is one of the alternative ways of delivering justice. It is the process of electing, in suitable and deserving criminal court cases, a manner of disposing of a criminal court case other than through normal court proceedings. (It usually includes the withdrawal of the charges against the accused person, after the accused person has participated in particular certified programmes.) After the offender has completed the diversion programme, the social worker submits a report to the prosecutor. If it is clear that the offender has cooperated and benefited from the programme, the matter is withdrawn and recorded as a diverted case on the daily statistics. These figures are totalled on the last court date of each calendar month. Separate statistics are recorded for children (persons younger than 18 years) and adult diversions.
