The traditional common law maxim acta probant sese ipsa (documents prove themselves) applies to the South African legal system. Furthermore, legislation prescribes the formalities for the legally valid execution (signing) and attestation (witnessing) of documentation when signed in South Africa. However, it stands to reason that the said maxim cannot be applied in respect of a document which has been executed abroad for use in South Africa, without grossly and perhaps even unfairly, burdening the person bearing the responsibility of judging the authenticity of the document merely on sight value.
