JUDGMENT: APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL
________________________________________________________________
(The matter was heard in open court and after hearing both parties, judgment was reserved. The reserved judgment will be uploaded onto the electronic file of the matter on CaseLines and the date of uploading of the judgment onto CaseLines is deemed to be the date of the judgment)

BEFORE: HOLLAND-MUTER J:

[1] I have read the heads of arguments filed by the parties onto CaseLines and heard the arguments of the representatives of the parties in open court when the application for leave to appeal was heard on 4 December 2024.

[2] In terms of section 17(1)  of the Superior Court Act, Act 10 of 2013, leave to appeal should only be granted where a Judge is of the view that the appeal would have a reasonable prospect of success, or when there is some other compelling reason why the leave to appeal should be given.

[3] After hearing the arguments and perusing the heads of arguments, I am of the view that there is no reasonable prospect of success for the appeal and that another court will arrive at a different decision.          

[4] There are also in my view no compelling circumstances why the appeal should be heard by another court. There is no important point of law to warrant consideration by a higher court.

[5] I have nothing more to add to the initial judgment handed down.

ORDER:

The application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs, costs to include cost of senior counsel and the scale to be on Scale C.
