Judgment text excerpt
The petitioners challenged the constitutional validity of amendments made to the Code of Civil Procedure via Amendment Act 46 of 1999 and Amendment Act 22 of 2002. The Supreme Court found no evidence that the amendments were ultra vires the Constitution or lacked legislative competence. Consequently, the Court upheld the validity of the amendments while acknowledging potential practical difficulties in their implementation.
