Moodley v Nambiti Engineering (Pty) Ltd (46427/09) [2010] ZAGPPHC 229 (10 December 2010)

The court found that the respondent failed to demonstrate any reasonable prospects of success on appeal. The restraining period had already lapsed, rendering the substantive dispute academic, and only the issue of costs remained. After considering the arguments and the grounds advanced, the court was satisfied that the application for leave to appeal could not succeed and dismissed it with costs.
