The full court dismissed an automatic appeal arising from a section 18 execution order in a dispute about the City of Johannesburg's tariff treatment of private schools. The court confirmed the earlier order and said the respondents had met the statutory requirements for execution pending appeal. It also dealt with condonation, a strike-out application, and costs.
