Stefanie Fick, executive director of the accountability and public governance division at Outa, told Moneyweb that Outa received a “very late” affidavit from Trac in which it indicated that it wished to intervene in the matter.
She said this resulted in Outa withdrawing its contempt of court application against Sanral and Sanral withdrawing its rescission application. Advocate Sinomtha Linda, head of legal at Sanral, confirmed the rescission and contempt of court applications were heard but not finalised in the High Court inLinda said Outa withdrew its contempt of court application and that the default order that was granted in November 2021 against Sanral and in Outa’s favour was rescinded.
“In this regard, Outa obtained a default judgment against Sanral without citing Trac, the owner of the information sought by Outa from Sanral. Linda said Sanral did not willingly elect not to be present at the time the application was called and had it been aware that the application existed and was proceeding, it would have definitely opposed the relief sought by Outa as it has done in similar cases.
“Sanral was the author of its own misfortune, [and] at all material times it was aware of the application,” she said.She said if Sanral’s purported defence was valid, Sanral could have easily raised this in an answering affidavit or by showing up on the day of the court hearing and putting its human error version before the court since it was fully aware of the application.
