Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a former president of the first respondent trade union, was removed from office in 2015. He successfully challenged his removal in the High Court in 2016, but the respondents appealed to the Supreme Court, suspending the order. While the appeal was pending, the respondents held a congress in March 2018 and elected new office bearers. The respondents later withdrew their appeal in May 2018. Upon the applicant's attempt to resume duties in August 2018, he was served with a prohibition order and invited to a disciplinary hearing scheduled for 1 September 2018. He filed this urgent application on 31 August 2018 to interdict the hearing and seek reinstatement.
