The High Court dealt with an application to compel the South African Reserve Bank respondents to provide a fuller Rule 53 record in review proceedings about a forfeiture decision involving USD 1 million. The court said the respondents had furnished the record and supplementary record, and dismissed the application to compel. Costs were ordered against the applicant on Scale B.
This appears to concern Rule 53 records, Rule 30A compliance, and review proceedings involving a forfeiture decision.
