Man loses contempt bid after landlord says he could not identify who took his car
Full story
A Johannesburg High Court judge dismissed a man's application for contempt. The man had sought to punish his landlord for failing to provide specific information. The judge found that the landlord could not be held responsible because he did not possess the information in question. Specifically, the landlord claimed he could not identify who had taken the man's car. Because the information was unavailable to the landlord, the court ruled against the contempt bid.
