Background
The applicant sought condonation for late filing of an appeal against a High Court judgment that dismissed his rei vindicatio application regarding a property he had sold in 1996. The dispute involved multiple court proceedings over the property's ownership, including a 2019 order that purported to cancel subsequent transfers and revive the applicant's title, which the High Court found to be irregular.
