JUDGMENT
Van
der Schyff J
[1]
I handed down a written
judgment in this matter on 19 August 2024. The applicants filed an
application for leave to appeal, which
was heard on 16 September
2024.
[2]
The applicants raised
numerous grounds of appeal. They supplemented their grounds by filing
a notice expressing that I was biased
against them.
[3]
After considering the
papers filed in the application, the judgment, and the grounds of
appeal, I am of the opinion that the appeal
does not have a
reasonable prospect of success. The written judgment contains the
reasons for the order handed down on 19 August
2024, and I need not
elaborate on this.
[4]
The application for
leave to appeal stands to be dismissed.
ORDER
In
the result, the following order is granted:
1.
The application for leave to appeal is
dismissed with costs, costs of counsel on scale B.
