Twin City Bosbokrand (Pty) Ltd v Municipal Manager Bushbuckridge Local Municipality and Others (50490/2012) [2014] ZAGPPHC 800

[1] In the main application, Twin City Bosbokrand (Pty) Ltd (Twin City) is the applicant. Ridge Mall (Pty) Ltd (Ridge Mall) is the seventh respondent. During the exchange of pleadings, Ridge Mail caused issue of the application in terms of Rule 35(12) of the Uniform Rules of this Court. Twin City was required to produce for inspection and copying of certain documents referred to in the Rule 35(12) application. Pursuant to the alleged non-compliance by Twin City, Ridge Mall issued an application in terms of Rule 30A. Ridge Mall sought to compel Twin City to make available such documents. Counter thereto, Twin City caused issue of application in terms of Rule 30(2)(c) contending that Ridge Mali’s Rule 30A application is an irregular step that warrant an order setting aside such application. There are therefore two interlocutory applications that are before this court. The aforesaid applications are intertwined and cannot effectively be dealt with separately.
