Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a technology company providing pre-payment metering software to ZETDC, sought to compel the Procurement Authority to investigate a tender process that replaced its system. The High Court dismissed the application for lack of locus standi as the applicant was not a bidder in the contested tender. The applicant sought condonation to appeal this decision out of time.
