Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant company purported to be represented by two legal practitioners, but the respondents raised a preliminary point that neither practitioner had proper authority to represent the applicant. An earlier court order by BERE J in HC 2470/13 had interdicted certain individuals from representing the applicant, and the current representatives were found to be in contempt of that order.
