The claim against the second respondent fell away due to its lack of possession of the units. The notice of motion was fatally defective, lacking the necessary annexure and failing to seek relief against the third respondent, who was only cited as an interested party.

Procedural Posture

Urgent Application / Application for Rule Nisi and Urgent Relief; Opposed Motion

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the application should be dismissed for lack of urgency.

  3. 3 Whether the notice of motion is fatally defective due to missing annexure and lack of prayer against the third respondent.

The notice of motion was fatally defective, lacking the necessary annexure and failing to seek relief against the third respondent, who was only cited as an interested party. The application could not be revived by referral to oral evidence or reliance on a prayer for alternative relief, as such relief must be fully canvassed and not substantially different from what was claimed. The application was fundamentally flawed and required a...
