dc.concourt.synopsis A sequel to the Court's decision in the matter decided 30 September 2009 (Chonco 1), this was an application for direct access seeking an order declaring that the President had unreasonably delayed in considering and deciding applications for presidential pardon under section 84(2)(j) of the Constitution, which had been filed with the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development in 2003. The applicants also sought an order directing the President to decide their applications within one month from the date of the order. The relief sought was rendered moot by the filing of a supplementary affidavit that revealed the pardons had been considered and decided. No order was made by the Court in that regard. The only remaining issue was costs, which were not awarded to the applicants on the basis that the applicants had been substantially indemnified in the Chonco 1. Judgment: Khampepe J (unanimous).
dc.concourt.casehistory This judgment is a sequel to Minister for Justice and Constitutional Development v Chonco and Others [2009] ZACC 25, CCT 42/09, 30 September 2009.
