SIXTH RESPONDNET
JUDGMENT
TWALA J
[1]
Before this Court, is an application for leave to appeal the whole of
the judgment and order given against the appellants on
the 14
th
of December 2017. The reasons for the leave to appeal appear in the
application and need not be repeated in this judgment.
[2]
Section 17 of the Superior Courts Act, Act 10 of 2013 provides as
follows with regard to leave to appeal:

1. Leave
to appeal may only be given where the judge or judges concerned are
of the opinion that-
a)
(i)
the appeal would have a reasonable prospect of success; or
(ii)
there is some other compelling reason why the appeal should be heard,
including conflicting judgments on the matter under consideration;
b)……………………………….
[3]
I am satisfied that the relevant issues in this matter have been
addressed in my judgment. I am therefore not persuaded that
the
appeal has a reasonable prospect of success and that another Court
may come to a different finding.
[4]
In the circumstances, I make the following order:
a)
The
application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs.
