Abrinah 7804 (Pty) Ltd v Kapa Koni Investment CC (717/2016) [2017] ZANCHC 1 (13 January 2017)

Abrinah 7804 (Pty) Ltd v Kapa Koni Investment CC (717/2016) [2017] ZANCHC 1 (13 January 2017)

The court found that the applicant failed to demonstrate any reasonable prospects of success on appeal. The arguments advanced regarding the alleged nullity of the agreement and the nature of Clause 2 as a suspensive condition were fully addressed in the main judgment. The applicant's conduct in writing the letter and seeking cancellation indicated acceptance of the agreement's validity. The respondent complied with the requirements within the stipulated period. The court was satisfied that its interpretation of the agreement and the relevant correspondence was correct and that no other court would likely reach a different conclusion.
