Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company, filed an application for leave to appeal. The respondent raised points in limine regarding procedural non-compliance, specifically the use of a wrong form and a defective affidavit lacking authorization. The applicant conceded the defects but sought to amend. The court found the breaches were not technical and struck the application off the roll.
