CVS Travel International (Pty) Ltd v Film Fun Holdings (Pty) Ltd (63/02/01) [2002] ZAGPHC 31 (26 September 2002)

CVS Travel International (Pty) Ltd v Film Fun Holdings (Pty) Ltd (63/02/01) [2002] ZAGPHC 31 (26 September 2002)

The court found that the omission to address prayer 2 in the order did not render the judgment defective, as the dismissal of the rescission application made the ancillary relief sought in prayer 2 irrelevant. The warrant of execution remained effective by operation of law. Furthermore, the court held that there were no reasonable prospects that another court would find that the judge failed to exercise proper and judicial discretion in dismissing the rescission application. Accordingly, the application for leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
