Court

High Court

Case number

APPEAL 332 of 2009

The main application was set aside as irregular because the notice of motion was signed by non-legal practitioners on behalf of other applicants, affidavits and annexures were not properly identified or referenced, and respondents were prejudiced as they could not discern the case to answer. The notice of appeal was a nullity as leave to appeal was required for interlocutory orders.
