Nompumelelo Nene failed in her bid to halt her disciplinary hearing
company secretary Nompumelelo Nene has been ordered to pay punitive costs in her failed urgent legal bid to halt disciplinary proceedings against her.At that time, the judge ordered her attorneys to make submissions as to why they should not pay the costs personally and on a punitive scale.But in his ruling, he has now put the blame for the hopeless application on Nene herself, saying as an admitted advocate and a senior corporate lawyer, she should have known better.
In his ruling on the cost issue on 22 April, Judge Wilson re-iterated that the urgent application was “so devoid of substance” that it warranted a punitive cost order.“Enrolling a matter on an urgent basis without so much as attempting to set out an urgent cause of action based on primary facts … is a waste of a court’s time.”
It was for this reason that he ordered Vilakazi to file an affidavit setting out reasons why she should not personally pay the costs.
