Pretoria Muslim Trust and Others v Ayob (2019/26626) [2019] ZAGPPHC 611 (21 November 2019)
The court found that there were numerous and manifest disputes of fact which the applicants should have foreseen, particularly given the correspondence exchanged prior to litigation. The applicants abused the court process by proceeding on motion despite these disputes and lacked bona fides. The application was not suitable for resolution on affidavit and should have been brought as a trial. The applicants' conduct justified a punitive costs order de bonis propriis against the second and fourth applicants.
