Summary of Case:	"Peter Naudé was wrongly convicted in November 2013 of breaching the code of conduct for the Hibiscus Coast Municipality in South Africa.

Naudé's defense was that at the time of the alleged breach,his wife, Elsabe, had been seriously ill and had subsequently died. He asserted he had been unable to disclose the particulars of the benefit as he had been unaware of it. After Naudé conviction following a bench trial, he was ordered to pay a fine of R15 000 (Approx. US$1,200), of which R9 000 was suspended. Naudé appealed.
