Dube and Another v City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (9437/2017) [2017] ZAGPJHC 403 (14 December 2017)
The court found that the applicants had not exhausted the statutory remedies available under the municipal by-laws, which provide adequate procedures for disputing water meter accuracy and billing. The relief sought was overly broad and not supported by law, as the respondent is entitled to recover public funds and must follow prescribed procedures. The applicants failed to establish the absence of an ordinary remedy, a key requirement for final interdictory relief. The application was dismissed, and costs were awarded on a punitive scale due to its baseless and vexatious nature.
