The Constitutional Court dealt with three leave to appeal applications arising from a dispute about a municipality’s consent to a change in control of Silulumanzi under a concession contract. It held that leave to appeal was granted in two matters, the appeals succeeded, and the High Court order was set aside and replaced. The Court also recorded that the appeal turned on whether the conduct was reviewable under PAJA or legality and on unreasonable delay.
This may be relevant to administrative law and municipal contract disputes, especially where the source concerns PAJA, legality review and delay.
