The evidence, particularly on identification, was unreliable and contradictory. The letter did not amount to non-compliance with the court order, and the respondents' culpability for contempt was not established.

Lesotho Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union v Crayon Garments (Pty) Ltd (Ruling) (LC 15 of 95) [1995] LSLC 3 (16 February 1995)
There is no real dispute of fact as the applicant did not deny the additional facts provided by the respondent, rendering them admitted. The interim order's cautious wording would not have led the court to refuse it even if all facts were disclosed. Therefore, the application to set aside the interim order for non-disclosure or procedural irregularity is dismissed.
