Legal battle against Seth Nthai's readmission not over yet

A battle between some of the country's legal giants is set to continue in the Supreme Court of Appeal .

It will also be filing a separate application to appeal an order that allows Nthai to practise, pending any appeals. Nthai was struck off the roll of advocates almost a decade ago after it was found that he had solicited a R5m payment from an Italian businessman. But Nthai also lodged the urgent application asking the court to order that the readmission order be executed in full pending the outcome of the application for leave to appeal, including future appeals.

But Judge President Ephraim Makgoba and Judge Peter Mabuse said the JSA's and LPC's leave to appeal applications lacked merit.

OP-ED: Harsh judgments on public protector’s rulings highlight the fault lines in SA’s legal trainingThe truth is that there is nothing new with legal judgments and those who penned them experiencing a barrage of criticism. But the magnitude of the pointed flaws must be a matter of concern if we are honest in our reflection of the performance of judicial officers and similar functionaries. Ironic, really, that an article critiquing the way judgments are written is so poorly drafted that I gave up halfway through! Or maybe just hers? Or lack of competent employment ! Alas AA !
