This case was originally heard in the Cape High Court, which was taken on appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal. This is an application for leave to appeal against a judgment and order of the Supreme Court of Appeal: Standard Bank of South Africa Ltd v Saunderson and Others, SCA Case 358/05, 15 December 2005, unreported. The applicant applies in the alternative for direct access to the Constitutional Court.

Applicants brought application in the public interests for leave to appeal against a judgment of the SCA ; a matter to which they were not party to. Court dismissed the applications and held that though the applicants had the requisite standing; new constitutional issues had been raised. Interests of justice require that matter is dealt with comprehensively. Applicants must begin case anew in lower courts.
