JUDGMENT FLATELA J Introduction [1] This is an application for leave to appeal brought by the Applicants against the judgment of mine dated the 20th of May 2025. [2] The test for the granting of leave to appeal pertinent to the present matter is set out in section 17(1) of the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013 as follows: “ ( 1)   Leave to appeal may only be given where the judge or judges concerned are of the opinion that: (a) (i)   the appeal would have a reasonable prospect of success or (ii)  there is some other compelling reason why the appeal should be heard, including conflicting judgments on the matter under consideration” [3] I have considered the grounds upon which the application has been made and the reasons I have given for the judgment. I have also reviewed the submissions made by counsel for the applicants seeking leave to appeal, and by counsel opposing such leave on behalf of the Respondents. [4] I am not persuaded that another court would come to a different conclusion or that there is some other compelling reason why leave to appeal should be granted. [5] In the circumstances, I make the following order: 1. The application for leave to appeal is refused. 2. There is no order as to costs.
