Stanger N.O v Stanger (24227/2021) [2024] ZAGPPHC 977 (30 September 2024)

The court found that the applicant did not meet the jurisdictional requirements for leave to appeal as set out in section 17(1)(a) of the Superior Courts Act. The judge was not persuaded that another court would reach a different conclusion regarding the sequestration of the respondent or that the applicant had demonstrated any advantage to the body of creditors. The factual context was considered in the original judgment, and no compelling reason was presented to justify granting leave to appeal.
