    This is an absolute bunker buster!!Well done to MJ Hood and all involved in this. No doubt there's been hours upon hours of hard work put into this.Hoping that this throws a couple of spanners into the works at CFR and SAPS in general.

    COMMENTARY ON CLASSIC ARMS JUDGMENT
    Although the facts in this case seems to be complicated, they are actually quite straightforward.Classis Arms obtained two Court Orders, including punitive cost orders against the police compelling them to process export permit applications.
    The police did not comply with the Court Order, because they adopted the attitude that an internal process overruled a High Court Order and they argued that Classic Arms had given permission for the firearms that were the subject matter of the application to be removed from the export permit. They also argued that there was a criminal investigation against Classic Arms and therefore they did not have to do anything before the criminal investigation was finalised.
    You will note the Judge’s comments that criminal investigation was opened by Brigadier Mabule maliciously and nothing has happened with it.
    The Judge’s conclusion is as follows:
    “It is not unreasonable for the Applicant to expect that the Respondents ought to have indicated that the requirements were met or that it was satisfied so that it knows what to do. The Respondents simply never replied to LM4. I therefore reject their opposition and interpretation of that the Respondents attach to LM4. Their opposition is meritless and ill-founded and… It is my view therefore that the relevant court order was never fully complied with.”
    The Learned Judge then went on to grant a punitive cost order.Coincidentally with respect to the criminal investigation, although we had a case number the police said that there was no docket. This was after Classic Arms had made a statement to the police. Such is the honesty of Brigadier Mabule.
