The High Court dealt with an application for leave to appeal in a matter about a foreclosure order and special executability of immovable property. The court said the threshold in section 17(1)(a)(i) of the Superior Courts Act is higher and granted leave to appeal to the Full Court. The application to adduce further evidence was dismissed with costs.
