Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a church established in 1960, sought an interdict against former members (the respondents) who had formed a breakaway faction. The applicant claimed exclusive rights to the church's name, logo, properties, and uniforms. The respondents argued they were still members of the church and that the dispute required oral evidence to determine who rightfully represented the church.
