The respondent cancelled the agreement on the basis that the applicant had not paid the amounts that, according to the respondent, the applicant had to pay. The applicant contends that the cancellation was not done in good faith, that the applicant has tendered to make payment in accordance with the agreement and that there is sufficient dispute of  fact to warrant the matter being referred to trial. On that basis, it is submitted that the applicant has established a prima facie right and that the applicant will suffer more prejudice than the respondent will if there is no interdict. The applicant therefore submits he is entitled to an interdict pending the determination of the trial. I am satisfied that even on the interpretation of the agreement contended for by the applicant, the applicant has not complied with his obligations in terms of the agreement, nor does the tender that was made on the 12 th of October in fact tender to comply with those obligations in full. The applicant has therefore not established a prima facie right to the relief sought nor that that is where the balance of convenience lies and the application is therefore dismissed with costs. S.
