MUA Limited v Mazu (PTY) Ltd (MA 243 of 2023 (arising from CA 20 of 2022))

MUA Limited v Mazu (PTY) Ltd (MA 243 of 2023 (arising from CA 20 of 2022)) [2025] SCSC 22 (12 February 2025)

The memorandum of appeal filed by the applicant was invalid as it lacked a prayer for relief, a mandatory requirement under rule 12. Since the memorandum was fundamentally defective and the time for filing a valid memorandum had lapsed, the defect could not be cured by amendment. The appeal was deemed withdrawn by operation of rule 14, and thus the application to amend did not arise for determination.
