Matsepe NO and Others v Master of the High Court Bloemfontein and Another (Venter and Another Intervening) (4528/2018) [2020] ZAFSHC 176 (27 October 2020)

Court

Free State High Court, Bloemfontein

Case number

4528/2018

Judge

C Nekosie

The review application was filed out of time, and no application for condonation was made. The applicants did not raise objections before the taxing master, and the taxation was settled by agreement between attorneys. The notices of review failed to comply with Rule 48(2) as they did not relate to what transpired at the taxation and lacked grounds attached to the objected items. As a result, the application for review of taxation cannot succeed.
