City of Cape Town v Hussain and Others (Appeal) (A268/2024) [2025] ZAWCHC 171 (17 April 2025)
The court held that the postponement order issued by the magistrate is purely interlocutory and does not meet the requirements for appealability under section 83 of the Magistrates' Court Act or the Zweni test. The order does not finally determine any rights, is susceptible to variation, and does not dispose of any substantial portion of the relief claimed in the eviction application. The interests of justice do not justify entertaining an appeal against such an order, as piecemeal litigation is discouraged. The alternative argument for review was rejected as it was not properly raised and th…

Lebashe Investment Group (Pty) Ltd and Others v United Democratic Movement and Another (1308/2023) [2025] ZASCA 29 (28 March 2025)
The Supreme Court of Appeal held that the order dismissing the exception to the amended plea was interlocutory and not appealable, as it did not finally determine the rights of the parties or dispose of a substantial portion of the relief claimed. The interests of justice did not support appealability, as any alleged prejudice or confusion could be addressed through trial particulars and pre-trial procedures. Allowing the appeal would result in piecemeal adjudication, prolong litigation, and waste judicial resources. The trial court retained the discretion to revisit the pleadings and determi…

South Mead (Pty) (Ltd) t/a Meister Cold Store v Acrow Limited (A357/2023) [2024] ZAGPPHC 1121 (12 November 2024)
The appeal was dismissed on the basis that the decision of the court a quo to set aside the taxation of the bill of costs was not appealable. The decision lacked finality, was not definitive of the rights of the parties, and did not dispose of any portion of the relief claimed in the main proceedings. The appellant retains the right to set the bill of costs down for taxation afresh, and the Taxing Master will reconsider the bill after proper notice. The principles established in Zweni v Minister of Law and Order remain applicable, and the court found no reason to depart from them. Accordingly…
