The Western Cape High Court refused leave to appeal in an application brought by the uMkhonto Wesizwe Party and United Africans Transformation against an interim interdict linked to a s 89 impeachment enquiry. The court said the order would likely lapse before any appeal could be heard and that the requirements in s 17(1)(b) and (c) of the Superior Courts Act were not met.
This may be relevant to matters involving interim restraints, appealability, and leave to appeal in constitutional and public power disputes.
