JUDGMENT
H
F JACOBS, AJ
[1]
This is an application for leave to appeal in terms of
section 17
of
the
Superior Courts Act, 10 of 2013
. I have listened carefully
to the submissions made in support of the application for leave to
appeal and studied the heads
of argument filed on behalf of the
applicant. The application levels criticism against the
judgment but does not, in my view,
show any of the grounds listed by
section 17(1)
of the Act that justify the granting of leave to
appeal.
[2]
I am therefore of the view that the appeal would not have reasonable
prospect of success and there
is no other compelling reason why leave
to appeal should be granted.
[3]
Under the circumstances leave to appeal is refused with costs.
