Global Parts v Maltji (JR1371/09) [2011] ZALCJHB 277 (9 September 2011)

The court found that there was no proper condonation application before it for the late filing of the review. The applicant failed to comply with the statutory time limits and did not provide substantive grounds for review, despite being afforded opportunities to do so. The absence of a valid condonation application and the lack of grounds for review were dispositive. The court held that it could not exercise its reviewing powers in the absence of compliance with procedural requirements and dismissed the application.
