What constitutes “special circumstances” in an application to the Supreme Court of Appeal, for special leave to appeal

Section 17(3) read with section 16(1)(b) of the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013 provides for an application for special leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA). According to the SCA, special circumstances may arise if the appeal deals with a substantial point of law, or the matter is of great importance to the parties or the public, or where the prospects of success on appeal are so strong that the refusal to grant leave to appeal would result in a denial of justice for the party seeking leave to appeal.

In terms of this matrimonial property regime, the parties’ assets are pooled together to form one joint (communal) estate. The parties therefore become the owners of an undivided one-half share in and to each other’s respective estate, which is inclusive of all their assets and liabilities (debts).
