De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Transport

With reference to his reply to question 1636 on 6 June 2018, what (a) is the status of the review application and (b) is the timeframe in this regard?

Reply:

a) The application was set down before a full bench of three judges from 4 to 7 March 2019. On the date of the hearing, the judges indicated that, in their view, there were a number of factual disputes in the papers and they anticipated referring the matter for oral evidence. After some argument, the Court ordered that the matter be postponed and certain individuals who were mentioned in the application, be invited to make submissions to Court ; and

b) At this point in time, there are no timeframes to the hearing. The parties have to identify the individuals implicated in the irregularities as claimed by PRASA in its papers, extend invitation to these individuals and thereafter set up a meeting with the Deputy Judge President in order to agree on timelines and a date for the hearing.
