AI summary
The Supreme Court of Appeal dealt with an appeal about a Fidelity Fund claim for R10 million and a later High Court order that extended the time to lodge that claim. The SCA said the High Court could not revisit factual findings already finally determined by the SCA, and it set aside the High Court’s substitution order. It also referred to the once-and-for-all rule and said the later review split a single cause of action into successive proceedings.
This may be relevant to litigation and administrative law matters involving appellate finality, review remedies and the once-and-for-all rule.
Evidence from source
