JUDGMENT

MARAIS JA

MARAIS JA:
For reasons which it is unnecessary to dwell upon I am not sure that there was no misdirection involved in the court a quo’s exposition of what it considered to be the appropriate point of departure when dealing with an attorney who has been untruthful in a respect relevant to his calling. However I need come to no firm conclusion in that regard because, for the reasons given by my brother Scott, I am satisfied that, even if this court were at large in the matter, the result should be the same. I agree with the orders made.


R M MARAIS
JUDGE OF APPEAL
