Former president Jacob Zuma will go down in history in many ways, one for being the most persistent litigant ever known, advocate Geoff Budlender submitted in the Pietermaritzburg high court on Monday.
They were issued with a summons in September last year.
It is common cause that the document was not given to Maughan by Downer but by another advocate on the team, Andrew Breitenbach.by both Zuma’s attorney and the NPA in support of an application by Zuma for a postponement of the trial. This court needs to say this is unlawful abuse. The courts have a duty to prevent abuse of process, to protect public confidence in the courts. This runs a mockery of the courtsHe said Zuma had already said in his papers he was going to use the private prosecution to have Downer removed from the trial and “no-one can say we haven’t been warned”.
Budlender said there was no evidence to justify such an allegation “which is defamatory, gratuitous, offensive, insulting and injurious”.
