The High Court considered an application for leave to appeal in a matter involving a provisional winding up order, interdictory relief and a punitive costs order against a business rescue practitioner. The court held that the provisional order of liquidation was not appealable and dismissed the application for leave to appeal. It also recorded that it had no reason to think another court would reach a different conclusion on the interdict and costs issues.
This appears to concern business rescue, winding up, interdictory relief and costs orders in High Court proceedings.
