Zungula v Passenger Agency of South Africa (03095/2017) [2022] ZAGPJHC 220 (11 April 2022)

Zungula v Passenger Agency of South Africa (03095/2017) [2022] ZAGPJHC 220 (11 April 2022)

The court found that all issues raised in the application for leave to appeal had already been considered in the original judgment. There were no reasonable prospects of success for the appeal, nor any compelling reason for it to be heard. The judge concluded that there is no prospect that another court may reach a different conclusion, and therefore, the application for leave to appeal must be dismissed with costs.
