The Western Cape Liquor Authority (WCLA) has refused to offer rebates to liquor licence holders and the matter could be heard before the National Consumer Tribunal.
Consumer lawyer Trudie Broekmann says she's consulting with a colleague to take action against the WCLA.
The attorney plans to represent a number of clients who want a rebate on liquor licences fees due to a series of alcohol bans implemented since March 2020.
Broekmann says Section 48 of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) has a provision for fair and reasonable treatment which should be applied in this case.
