DE C.V.                                                       Applicant and GRUPO BIMBO S.A.B. DE C.V.                                 First Respondent THE COMPANIES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMMISSION                                       Second Respondent JUDGMENT Van der Schyff J Introduction [1] This is an application for leave to appeal. The applicant in this application for leave to appeal was the applicant when the initial application was heard. [2] A written judgment was handed down containing the reasoning underpinning the dismissal of the applicant’s application. After having considered both parties’ quite extensive heads of argument in this application for leave to appeal, and heard both counsel, I am of the view that a compelling reason exists why the appeal should be heard. Since the contentious issue raised by the applicant revolves around obtaining clarity on a point of law, it is appropriate for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal to be granted. ORDER In the result, the following order is granted: 1. The applicant’s application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal is granted. 2. The costs of this application are costs in the appeal. E van der Schyff Judge of the High Court Delivered:  This judgment is handed down electronically by uploading it to the electronic file of this matter on CaseLines. For the applicant: Adv. P.
