We analyze historical judicial awards for similar detention durations and apply inflationary adjustments to provide the court with the contemporary present-day value of those awards.

The last 3–6 months of payslips (pre-arrest).
Recent SARS tax assessments (IT34s).
Any available Industrial Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist reports detailing the impact on employability or mental health.
