Synopsis:
Application for extension of period of suspension of declaration of constitutional invalidity. In October 2004 the Court declared certain sections of the Pound Ordinance, KwaZulu Natal, unconstitutional. The declaration was suspended for 12 months to allow the Provincial legislature to correct the defects. Ngcobo J, for a unanimous Court, held that the Court has the power at common law to extend a period of suspension whenever it is just and equitable to do so.
