Rebolini v Mossel Bay Municipality and Another (15855/2008) [2010] ZAWCHC 432 (30 July 2010)

The court found that all decisions and orders made required the exercise of judgment and discretion. Upon considering the arguments, the court was not persuaded that another court would reasonably come to a different conclusion or that there was any misdirection or failure to consider relevant facts. Therefore, the application for leave to appeal did not meet the threshold for granting leave, and the application was dismissed. Costs were awarded against the applicant, following the event.
