Blair Atholl Homeowners Association (NPC) v Meyer and Another (46150/2018) [2024] ZAGPPHC 285 (14 March 2024)

The court considered the grounds of appeal and the submissions of both parties in light of section 17 of the Superior Courts Act and relevant case law. The judge found that the applicant had established reasonable prospects of success on appeal, satisfying the statutory threshold. The court emphasized that the test requires more than a mere possibility of success and that the applicant's grounds were sufficient to warrant interference by another court. Accordingly, leave to appeal was granted to the Full Court of this Division, with costs in the appeal.
