Ex parte Liquidity Technologies Ltd (MA 195 of 2022) [2022] SCSC 827 (22 September 2022)

The application was dismissed because the applicant failed to establish proper authority to institute proceedings, did not provide the contract or arbitration agreement relied upon, and thus failed to make out a prima facie case for an interlocutory injunction. The court also could not determine its jurisdiction or the applicant's entitlement to relief in the absence of necessary documents.

Bajrang Builders (Pty) Ltd v Harini & Co. (Pty) Ltd (MA 21/2017 (Arising in CS 11/2016)) [2017] SCSC 878 (8 June 2017)

The applicant failed to prove that the arbitration agreement was valid and subsisting and did not demonstrate readiness to submit to arbitration at the commencement of proceedings. The arbitration clause was subject to other provisions in the agreement, and the applicant only sought arbitration after filing a defence on the merits. Therefore, the court's jurisdiction was not ousted.
