Snowy Owl Properties 284 (Pty) Ltd v Mziki Share Block Limited (886/2021) [2023] ZASCA 2 (19 January 2023)

The Supreme Court of Appeal held that the arbitration award does not sanction illegal activities, as it pertains to the reinstatement and maintenance of existing servitude roads, not the creation of new roads. The environmental objections raised by the appellant were considered and rejected during arbitration, and the evidence presented before the high court was merely a repetition of arguments already decided. The award is sufficiently clear, referencing documents and inspections attended by both parties, and the appellant is fully aware of the roads and obligations. Maintenance duties under…

Civil Procedure [2004] ZAECHC 18

Amatole District Municipality and Others v King William's Town Taxi Management and Others (ECJ 2004/011)

Amatole District Municipality and Others v King William's Town Taxi Management and Others (ECJ 2004/011) [2004] ZAECHC 18 (5 July 2004)

The court found that the application was urgent but did not establish sufficient grounds for the relief sought. The applicants had standing to litigate in the public interest, but the South African Police Service was not properly before the court due to lack of proper authority. The contract between the first and eighth respondents, while poorly drafted, was not unlawful or contrary to public policy. Many of the orders sought were too vague to be enforceable, and the applicants failed to prove any unlawful conduct by the eighth respondent that would justify an interdict. The applicants also l…
