Court
North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria
Case number

Judge
SJ Cowen
The High Court held that the applicant could enforce a contractual right to register a right-of-way servitude, despite later selling the dominant property.
The Supreme Court of Appeal held that the High Court's order was final in effect and thus appealable, as it compelled the City to restore and continue supplying electricity to the Retail Park without ensuring payment of arrears or imposing reciprocal obligations on all owners. The order undermined the City's constitutional and statutory duty to collect revenue for services rendered and forced it to act contrary to its legal mandate.

Van Den Bos NO v Maluleke and Others (11192/2020) [2023] ZAGPJHC 594 (22 May 2023)
Court
South Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg
Case number
11192/2020
Judge
S Yacoob
The court found that the applicant failed to provide substantive evidence that the magistrates' court systematically stonewalls applications for special executability or that process-in-aid was necessary. The applicant's affidavit was vague and generalized, lacking specific proof of inability to obtain relief in the magistrates' court.

As the applicant did not meet this threshold, the application was dismissed.
