Whitfiels v Francis and Another (71018/2016) [2017] ZAGPPHC 607 (11 September 2017)

The court found that the respondents' conduct in repeatedly denying the applicant access to the property, interfering with her employees, and changing arrangements at the last minute was unreasonable and demonstrated a deliberate and mala fide intention to frustrate compliance with the court order. The applicant provided sufficient evidence of these actions, which went beyond mere disagreement or misunderstanding and amounted to contempt of court. The respondents' actions were not bona fide and were intended to prevent the applicant from fulfilling her obligations under the order.
