JUDGMENT: Application for leave to appeal
AC BASSON,J
[1] The applicant brought an application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal against the judgment and order granted by this court on 12 December 2016.
[2] I have considered the grounds for leave to appeal and I am persuaded that an appeal would have reasonable prospects of success. I am likewise of the view that leave should be granted to the Supreme Court of Appeal in light of the questions of law pertinently raised in the judgment.
[3] The respondents attempted to move a counter-application for leave to   appeal from the bar in respect of a costs order granted in paragraph [55] of the judgment. In light of the fact that there is no proper counter-application I have declined to consider such an application.
[4] In the event the following order is made:
1.               Leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal is granted.
2.               Costs to be costs in the appeal.
