Court
North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria
Case number

Judge
Amien
The court found that the application was not urgent, as the respondent's conduct regarding sleepovers occurred months before the hearing and did not constitute ongoing harm. The applicant's evidence regarding the minor child's trauma was credible, and the respondent's denials were not persuasive, especially given the respondent's elevated GGT test results indicating possible excessive alcohol consumption. The best interests of the child require that sleepovers be excluded and the respondent's contact be supervised by a responsible adult identified by the applicant. The applicant's proposed re…

Court
North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria
Case number
77979/2018
Judge
C Marumoagae
The court held that the applicant failed to demonstrate a material change in her financial circumstances since the previous contribution order, as required by Rule 43(6).

The evidence suggested that the applicant, as a businesswoman with profitable enterprises, could pay her legal fees from her own resources. The court found no justification to order the respondent to contribute further to the applicant’s legal costs, including th…
