AI summary
The High Court considered an application for leave to appeal in a matter about admission as an advocate, foreign legal degrees, and the relationship between recognition and equivalence. The court refused the application for leave to appeal and also refused the further material sought to be introduced. Costs were ordered against the respondents on the attorney and client scale, including the costs of two counsel on scale C.
This appears to concern the treatment of foreign legal qualifications and the respective roles of SAQA, the Legal Practice Council, and the High Court.
