How De Lille, DA both claim victory in high court ruling over party dispute | IOL News

Cape Town - GOOD party leader Patricia de Lille and the Democratic Alliance both claimed victory on Friday as the high court in Cape Town ruled that the Electoral Court was a more appropriate forum to hear a dispute between the two parties.

"...it is my finding that the most appropriate forum to hear both legs of this dispute is not this court because even if this court were to entertain the first leg by way of an appeal...it might create a situation where there are two opposing rulings on this matter at the end of the day when the electoral court makes the ruling on the matter of the review that is pending before it and that is completely unacceptable within our jurisprudence...," ruled Martin.

"This court found this morning that the IEC is a chapter nine institution and therefore their finding stands," she said. "De Lille has tried three times to bring an urgent motion before the High Court and all three attempts have failed," said Mike Moriarty, the DA's principal representative of the party liaison committee on the IEC.
