Maintenance at Pinetown is a function of the magistrate court, whose number is easily transposed with that of the local Toyota dealership.
Local channels
- Pinetown Magistrate Court: 031 710 7800
Address
The court is at 5 Chancery Lane, Pinetown, 3600, with post to Private Bag X9004 at the same code. The court on 031 710 7800 and the Bidvest McCarthy Toyota dealership on 031 701 4282 have transposed exchanges, so read the number carefully.
Services at this location
Where an order is not being paid and the person owing it is employed, the court can order the employer to deduct the maintenance from their salary and pay it over directly. That is an emoluments attachment order, and it removes the need to chase payment each month. The employer, once served, is obliged to comply.
Parent organisation
Durban on 031 302 4111 is the main seat for eThekwini. The Emlazi court at Umlazi on 031 907 3955 and Verulam on 032 439 1711 exercise the same functions for their own areas of the district.
