Torasource (Pty) Ltd t/a Solarwize Africa v Lleyds and Others (082049/2023)

Torasource (Pty) Ltd t/a Solarwize Africa v Lleyds and Others (082049/2023) [2023] ZAGPPHC 749 (25 August 2023)

The court found that the applicant's case rested almost exclusively on the existence of a restraint of trade agreement, which the first respondent credibly denied, supported by photographic evidence of the signed contract lacking such a clause. The respondent's version was not so far-fetched or untenable as to be rejected on the papers, and the applicant failed to establish a factual basis for the existence of the restraint. Even if the confidentiality clause was accepted, the applicant did not demonstrate a legitimate protectable interest in the information, as the respondent's role was limi…

Civil Procedure [2015] ZAGPJHC 90

Firework 1475 (Pty) Ltd v Becker and Others (36830/2014)

Firework 1475 (Pty) Ltd v Becker and Others (36830/2014) [2015] ZAGPJHC 90 (22 May 2015)

The court held that it was in the interests of justice to grant the applicant leave to file a supplementary affidavit and to allow the first and second respondents an opportunity to respond with their own supplementary affidavits. The application to recall the previous referral to oral evidence was postponed sine die, to be heard together with the main application once all relevant affidavits were before the court. The court reserved the question of costs to be determined at the main application, emphasizing that it would be inappropriate to deal with the recall application until all suppleme…
