Chiloane v Jordaan and Another (B854/2023) [2024] ZAGPPHC 168 (27 February 2024)

Chiloane v Jordaan and Another (B854/2023) [2024] ZAGPPHC 168 (27 February 2024)

The court found that the applicant was represented by pro bono legal representatives when the application papers were drafted and had ample opportunity to present her case. The grounds raised for leave to appeal were the same as those considered in the initial application, and the evidence did not support a reasonable prospect of success on appeal. The court held that another court would not reach a different conclusion based on the facts and arguments presented. Accordingly, the application for leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
