AI summary
The judgment concerns Msibi House and the prolonged stay of eviction proceedings while a temporary emergency accommodation report was awaited from the City of Johannesburg. The Court found an arbitrary deprivation of the first applicant’s use and enjoyment of the property for 2011 to 2018, but dismissed the expropriation and section 34 claims. It also ordered a reconciliation of the municipal accounts and reserved prescription, enforceability, and quantum issues.
This may be relevant to property owners, municipalities, and practitioners dealing with unlawful occupation, municipal billing, and section 118 clearance issues.
