Diphare v Pawn My Car (37676/2021) [2023] ZAGPJHC 770 (2 June 2023)

Diphare v Pawn My Car (37676/2021) [2023] ZAGPJHC 770 (2 June 2023)

The court found that the applicant failed to demonstrate reasonable prospects of success on appeal as required by section 17(1)(a)(i) of the Superior Courts Act. The grounds advanced did not show that another court would likely reach a different conclusion. Furthermore, no compelling reasons were presented to justify granting leave to appeal under section 17(1)(a)(ii). The application complied with the procedural requirements of Rule 49 of the Uniform Rules of Court, but did not meet the substantive threshold for leave to appeal. Accordingly, the application for leave to appeal was dismissed.
