Thales argued that a higher court would find differently on the validity of the re-instatement of the charges against it.The state argued that there was no prospect that an appeal court would uphold Zuma’s baseless and insulting allegations that the High Court sanitised the National prosecuting authority’s constitutional violations.
The state also says the reasons for the decision to re-instate the charges against Thales was rational.
