LSB defends Mothusi ban

Mothusi was again disbarred from practice last year October through a High Court order, a barring that came just six years after he returned to practice through a court order. He was first barred in 2008 for failing to abide by LSB regulations.

In the latest Court of Appeal (CoA) filling, the LSB wants to be granted leave to file notice of opposition out of the time. The application, which was heard on Wednesday by Justice Lakhvinder Singh Walia, follows Mothusi’s decision to challenge his removal from the legal practitioner’s roll by the LSB. The LSB had failed to file a notice of opposition within the prescribed court process and now wants the court’s mercy so it could defend its decision.
