The Supreme Court of Appeal upheld Discovery Health’s appeal against the Road Accident Fund and set aside the Full Court’s order. It declared that the respondents were in breach of the court’s 27 October 2022 order and interdicted them from giving effect to the directives issued on 13 April 2023 and 2 November 2023.
This may be relevant to disputes about Road Accident Fund directives and claims for past medical expenses paid by medical aid schemes.
