BCP loses application to amend declaration in EVM case

When dismissing the party’s application yesterday, Justice Lot Moroka stated that the application came late, adding that allowing the BCP application to succeed would be tantamount to allowing court processes to be abused with impunity.

Moroka also stated that the other reason for not allowing the opposition party’s application to succeed was that it was introducing new things (Electoral Amendment Act of 2016 is not consistent with the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act of 2014). “The application was brought after all pleadings have been closed,” said Moroka.
