The judgment deals with an application for leave to appeal and an urgent application in terms of section 18(3) of the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013. The court dismissed the leave to appeal application with costs and granted the section 18(3) application, stating that the maintenance order granted on 19 January 2026 would not be suspended and would remain enforceable.
