AI summary
The judgment concerns an application to review and set aside a magistrate’s grant of summary judgment, with the applicant saying the magistrate considered an original plea instead of an amended plea. The High Court found that the amended plea served before the magistrate and dismissed the application. It also made costs orders against the applicant.
