This judgment concerns an application for leave to appeal in the Gauteng Division, Pretoria. The court said the leave to appeal application was to be considered under section 17(1)(a)(i) and (ii) of the Superior Courts Act and referred to the higher threshold for leave to appeal. The court also recorded that the applicant’s case was based on the rei vindicatio and the actio ad exhibendum, and that both require proof of ownership. It dismissed the application for leave to appeal with costs.
This may be relevant to leave to appeal applications and disputes about cession, standing, ownership, and the rei vindicatio.
