AI summary
The High Court considered an application for leave to appeal by Transnet after an earlier order requiring it to dispatch a Rule 53 record in review proceedings. The court found the appeal to be moot because the record had already been produced and dismissed the application for leave to appeal. The judgment also discusses Transnet's reliance on Famous Idea and distinguishes that case from the present tender dispute.
This may be relevant to public procurement, Rule 53 review proceedings, and mootness in appeals.
Evidence from source
The question whether Transnet should have been compelled to produce the record therefore no longer presents a live controversy capable of producing any practical effect between the parties.
Supports: plain_summary: the court found the appeal moot because the record had already been produced.
