A"watershed" case dealing with the rights of independent candidates was of such urgency and importance that it could end up postponing the elections in May, the Western Cape High Court heard on Wednesday.
"The enjoyment of this right has not been prescribed by the Constitution. It is just not facilitated by legislation," Mogoeng noted at the time. Nelson, who indicated that he had come out of retirement to argue this case, said that Desai's order would need to be verified by the Constitutional Court.Desai doubted that the highest court in the land would hear the matter by the time citizens make their mark on the ballot papers."If the matter cannot be resolved by 8th of May, then there will be an application for the postponement of the election.
Nelson wanted Desai to declare the omission in the electoral act unconstitutional, while leaving it up to Parliament to decide how to remedy the matter.
