AI summary
The High Court dismissed an application by Dack Developments (Pty) Ltd to review George Local Municipality's decision of 26 November 2021 to deal with a proposed lease by competitive bidding rather than directly with the applicant. The court held that the decision was not administrative action under PAJA and, in any event, that the application was filed late without a basis for condonation. The court also ordered costs on the attorney and client scale.
This may be relevant to public law and municipal procurement matters involving reviewability under PAJA and delay in launching review proceedings.
Evidence from source
The application is dismissed, with costs, such costs to be taxed on the scale as between attorney and client.
