JL Unique Solutions (Pty) Ltd and Another v E Media Investments (Pty) Ltd and Others (2024/150153) [2025] ZAGPJHC 58 (28 January 2025)
The court found that the urgency claimed by the applicants was self-created, as they waited over two months after the programme was aired before launching the application. The delay undermined any claim to urgency, and the matter did not warrant urgent relief. The application was accordingly struck off the roll. The issue of costs, including punitive costs and costs against the applicants' attorney, was reserved for later determination.
