IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA

In the matter between:

THE LAND AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

and

1.	
2.	
3. MINISTER OF JUSTICE & CONSTITUTIONAL

JUDGMENT

Application for Leave to Appeal

Counsel now appearing for the said respondents has, in effect, abandoned most of the defences advanced by his predecessor. He seeks leave to appeal only on the limited basis set out in the final paragraph of the respondents' application for leave to appeal. For the reasons set out in my judgment, I am of the view that there are no reasonable prospects of another Court coming to a different conclusion, not even on the limited basis now being suggested by defendants' counsel.

In the result the application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs.
