CAPTAIN JOSEPH MASHABANE                                             Third Respondent

 

CONSTABLE A PLAATJIE                                                        Fourth Respondent

 

 

JUDGMENT:  APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL

 

 

POTTERILL J

           

[1]        I read the grounds of appeal, listened and considered the arguments and I am satisfied that no other court would reasonably come to another conclusion.

 

[2]        As for the past medical expenses the record will reflect that the plaintiff put no evidence before the court for this claim and it was accordingly not proven and there was no claim to determine.

 

[3]        The ground of appeal against the past loss of income is troubling as the counsel for the plaintiff on record abandoned this claim.

 

[4]        I accordingly make the following order:

 

            The application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs.

 

 

S. POTTERILL
