The Labour Court in Cape Town has struck off the roll the urgent application asking the court to interdict the recruitment process for the post of Malmesbury head control prosecutor.
The selection committee, which consisted of four people, including Cross, met on August 5 this year, to agree on a set of criteria for short-listing candidates, and proceeded to consider and to score all 139 applications.
When, on October 19, Grootboom requested reasons for the decision not to shortlist him, despite his experience – having worked as a prosecutor with the NPA for the last 20 years – she told him that the panel had identified a number of competencies for the post and that he did not meet them. “Nor did he propose, in his notice of application, reasonable time limits, commensurate with the urgency claimed, within which the respondents should give notice of intention to oppose or to file answering affidavits as required – clauses 12.9-12.10 of the Practice Manual in his notice of application,” said Harvey.
