Coram: FORTUIN J et NJOKWENI AJ

Judgment delivered on: 11 MARCH 2026

CORRECTION ORDER IN TERMS OF RULE 42(1)(b)


1. Paragraph 6 of the original order of 11 March 2026 contained a patent error, in
that, the words “scale B” were erroneously typed after the words “attorney and
client costs”. As a result, and in terms of uniform rule 42(1)(b), I propose that
paragraph 6 of the said order be mero motu varied only to the extent of the said
error, by deletion of the words “scale B” in paragraph 6 and substitution thereof
by the following new paragraph 6:
“6. The applicants are ordered to pay the respondents’ attorney and client costs.”
