During May 2024 in the Western Cape High Court, the Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town challenged provisions under the Refugee Act 120 of 1998 that require asylum seekers to demonstrate “good cause” before being permitted to lodge claims of asylum at official ports of entry. Where asylum seekers could not demonstrate “good cause”, they were unable to file an asylum application and were at risk of unlawful arrest and detention.
