Urban Growth Investments (Pty) Ltd v Mesh VC (Pty) Ltd (Leave to Appeal) (133934/2023) [2025] ZAGPPHC 207 (24 February 2025)

The court found that, after considering the submissions of both parties and the application for leave to appeal, there are no reasonable prospects that another court would reach a different conclusion. The applicant failed to demonstrate any compelling reason for the appeal to be heard. Accordingly, the application for leave to appeal does not meet the requirements of Section 17(1) of the Superior Courts Act and must be dismissed.
