JUDGMENT (Reason)
Tuchten J:
1 This is a request for reasons for having dismissed the applicant's urgent application.
2 The applicant brought an urgent application to interdict the second
respondent from paying out the first respondent's pension pending a maintenance enquiry, which is presently pending, into the first
respondent's obligation to pay maintenance for two minor children born of their relationship..
3 I characterised the relief sought by the applicant as an anti-dissipation interdict. I concluded that there was no evidence that the first respondent intended to dissipate his pension when it was paid out to him.
4 I accordingly dismissed the application.
