AI summary
The High Court in Johannesburg dealt with an application for security for costs in a matter between former spouses. It condoned the late answering affidavit, dismissed the security application and the requested stay, and ordered the applicant to deliver his answering affidavit within 15 days. The court also ordered the applicant to pay costs on the attorney and client scale, including two counsel where employed.
This appears to concern security for costs procedure, a stay request, and punitive costs in High Court motion proceedings.
