JUDGMENT

A.M.L. PHATUDI J:

[1] At the commencement of the hearing, it has been placed on record that the respondents do not opposed the relief sought by the applicant but for the development of jurisprudence with regards to the interpretation of the word “execution” as stipulated in section 129(4)(b) of the National Credit Act.

[2] The lis between the parties is as a result, been brought to an end. For purposes of the lis between the parties in casu, determination and interpretation of the word “execution” as worded in section 129(4)(b) is moot.

[3] The applicant is not interested in such determination but for the relief sought as encapsulated in the draft order. Where disputes between the parties have been settled, there exists no discretion for the court to exercise.

[4] The matter has been set down for three days. Both parties engaged services of two counsel. The complexity of the matter required such employment of two counsel.

[5] Having heard counsel for both the applicant and the respondent, I find that the order of costs of two counsel is justified.

I therefore make the following order:

Order:

The draft order marked “X” as handed up by the applicant is hereby made an order of court
