dc.concourt.synopsis Application for leave to appeal against decision of Transvaal High Court granting order of absolution from the instance in favour of Walker. Langa DP for majority held that Council indirectly unfairly discriminated on basis of race by selectively enforcing payment for electricity and water against residents of old Pretoria and not those of Mamelodi and Atteridgeville. Flat rate and cross-subsidisation not unfair discrimination. But absolution from the instance not appropriate relief, so appeal upheld. Sachs J in separate judgment held that selective enforcement is not unfair discrimination.
