LEAVE
TO APPEAL
FRANCIS-SUBBIAH,
AJ:
[1]
The applicant/defendant seeks leave to
appeal against the entire judgment and order delivered on 22 July
2022 in this matter.
[2]
The respondent/plaintiff opposes the
application for leave to appeal.
[3]
In considering a leave to appeal there
must be reasonable prospects that another court may come to a
different conclusion.
[4]
The respondent opposed this application
on the basis that I had not erred in the findings and that there are
no prospects that another
court may come to a different conclusion.
[5]
Having read the papers and having heard
counsel I had considered the issues raised by the applicant in this
leave to appeal in coming
to a decision on the trial matter. I have
dealt in depth with many of the issues raised in the application in
my judgment.
[6]
I am of the view that there are
reasonable
prospects
that another court may come to a different conclusion. Leave to
appeal should therefore be granted to the Full Court of
the Gauteng
Division.
[7]
Accordingly the following order is made:
7.1
Leave to appeal to the Full Court of the
Gauteng Division is hereby granted.
7.2
The costs of this application are to be
costs in the appeal.
