Afriforum and Another v Chairperson of the Council of the University of Pretoria and Others (54451/16)
Afriforum and Another v Chairperson of the Council of the University of Pretoria and Others (54451/16) [2017] ZAGPPHC 425 (10 May 2017)
The court found that the applicants failed to satisfy the requirements for leave to appeal as set out in section 17 of the Superior Courts Act. After considering the heads of argument and oral submissions, and in light of the Supreme Court of Appeal's decision in University of the Free State v Afriforum and Solidarity, the court was not persuaded that there were reasonable prospects of success or compelling reasons to grant leave. The application for leave to appeal was therefore refused, with costs including the costs of two counsel.
