The Western Cape High Court heard an appeal in a review concerning squid sector allocations and preliminary objections based on mootness and delay. The court upheld the appeal, granted condonation for non-compliance with PAJA, dismissed the points in limine, and remitted the matter for a full hearing on the substantive merits.
