Following the application by Lesotho for enforcement of the arbitration award in different jurisdictions being the Republic of South Africa, Mauritius, the United State of America and the United Kingdom, the hearing of the matter has been postponed to November 09-10 2021.
In a press release dated July 31 2021, the office of the Prime Minister indicates that that the postponement was because the parties could not agree on the dates.
“Meanwhile, Frazer Solar GMBH lodged an application for leave of court to file further answering affidavit to the kingdom of Lesotho’s founding affidavit.
“The Trans Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA), who are also a party to the proceedings before court, filed a counter application. These applications required other parties to respond, thereby postponing the hearing even further.
“Frazer Solar GMBH has undertaken to take no further steps to execute the order granted by the High Court of South Africa (Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg) on May 03, 2021 and any writ of execution or notice of attachment
issued pursuant to that order, pending finalisation of the Kingdom’s application for stay. There is a consent draft order of court to that effect,” reads the media release.
