Court
North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria
Case number
A150/2023; 11829/2020
Judges
Mkhabela, Van der Westhuizen, Kooverjie
The Court held that the dismissal of an exception is not appealable, as it is not a final decision and remains open for reconsideration at trial. The Supreme Court of Appeal and Constitutional Court have established that appealability is determined by the interests of justice, and the triad of principles in Zweni applies. The appellants failed to demonstrate any prejudice arising from the dismissal of the exception, and no distinguishing features or interests of justice warranted granting the appeal. The Court is bound by precedent and dismissed the appeal accordingly.
