The High Court considered an application for leave to appeal against an order that set aside three subpoenae duces tecum issued for an enquiry into the affairs of Lategan Trading (Pty) Ltd in liquidation. It held that there were no reasonable prospects of success and dismissed the application. The court also said it was not persuaded that there were compelling reasons to hear the appeal.
