"It's up to the legal team to make sure that they fight this battle and I believe that I have a good legal team to stand by me." He said his confidence was also bolstered by the SCA president's decision to send the matter back to court for reconsideration and that ultimately, he believes he has a strong case.His application for leave to appeal has been set down for hearing next week Wednesday.
