Xulu, who has represented Western Cape judge president John Hlophe on a number of occasions, failed in his bid to compel Western Cape High Court judge Ashley Binns-Ward to recuse himself from the matter on Tuesday.

Xulu and his law firm, B Xulu & Partners Incorporated , are involved in a protracted legal battle with the department of environment, forestry and fisheries over R20.2m paid to the firm.

In October 2020, Eastern Cape judge John Smith, who was specially appointed to the Western Cape bench to deal with the matter, ordered that Xulu’s assets — including a Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, his home in upmarket Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal and his law firm’s bank accounts — be frozen. Among the reasons Xulu brought an application for Binns-Ward’s recusal was that the judge was a co-complainant against Xulu in a professional misconduct matter.
