The Western Cape High Court dismissed an application to strike out and granted a final interdict in favour of Cape Union Mart International and Mr Krawitz. The order restrains the respondents from making certain statements linking the applicants to Israel, genocide, the Israeli army, or the killing of children, and from preventing access to Cape Union Mart stores. The court also ordered that the respondents comply with the Regulation of Gatherings Act during protest action at the stores, and each party is to pay their own costs.
This appears to concern defamation, protest conduct, and compliance with the Regulation of Gatherings Act in the context of protests outside retail premises.
