The government has asked the North Gauteng High Court to grant it leave to appeal the judgment that found level 3 and 4 lockdown regulations were unconstitutional and invalid in the SCA.
Johannesburg - The government has asked the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to grant it leave to appeal the judgment that found level 3 and 4 lockdown regulations were unconstitutional and invalid in the Supreme Court of Appeal .
Earlier this month, Judge Norman Davis issued a ruling in a case brought by Liberty Fighters Network . He found that regulations promulgated under level 3 and 4 were irrational and unconstitutional. Norman gave the government 14 days to rectify the regulations. The government on Wednesday argued that it was possible that a higher court could come to a different conclusion on the judgment and find that it was incorrect.
He also argued that the court had overstepped when it ruled on level 3 regulations as those had yet to be gazzeted and had not offered the minister the time to argue for the regulations.
