Phillips and Others v National Director of Public Prosecutions (2000/27885) [2020] ZAGPJHC 181 (4 August 2020)
REPUBLIC
OF SOUTH AFRICA
IN
THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA
GAUTENG
LOCAL DIVISION, JOHANNESBURG
CASE
NO: 2000/27885
In
the application of:
Andrew Lionel Phillips
and Others
First
to twentieth applicants
and
National
Director of Public
Prosecutions Respondent
JUDGMENT
(leave to appeal)
Vally
J
[1]
This is an application for
leave to appeal only against paragraph b of an order I made on 18 May
2020. The full order reads:
a.
The application
brought in terms of Rule 30 is dismissed.
b.
The applicants in
the Rule 30 application are to pay the costs of the application.
[2]
Having read the papers and
having carefully heard counsel I come to the conclusion that there is
no reasonable prospect that another
court would come to a different
conclusion on the issue of costs. There is also no other compelling
reason why another court should
be required to attend to this matter.
[3]
Accordingly, the
application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs.
