The Constitutional Court has found that there were no grounds for the appeal by New Dawn Technologies and Valor.
24 December 2021 - 08:35A long-running battle lasting over 10 years between the department of home affairs and two companies over a R1,5bn tender for an electronic document management system reached the end of the road this week when the Constitutional Court dismissed with costs their application for leave to appeal a Supreme Court of Appeal judgment against them.
The minister also intends to ask National Treasury to blacklist the two companies from doing business with the state. The Constitutional Court dismissed the application for leave to appeal as it found it “lacks reasonable prospects of success”. This was the same reason given by the Supreme Court of Appeal which dismissed with costs the application by the two companies. The Gauteng North High Court found that there was no legally binding contract between the department and the two companies for the provision of the electronic document management system.
