Langlaagte docket

There was an issue regarding an investigation into a forklift which was not mentioned in the original complaint referral but appeared in the docket and supplementary affidavits.

“One of the issues that I picked up here of the one that was flighted, is there is no mention of a forklift at all, but Mr Raphes will confirm that we received, we just had to trace it, Langlaagte docket for a forklift, and it was in the 27 referral. And the supplementaries that we took was one of them for the forklift and the first three witnesses that were identified were from the forklift documents.”

There was a delay in making the Langlaagte docket available, causing Ms Sello not to apply her mind to it, and the delay is attributable to Advocates Bodlani and Johnson.

“I confirm that the Langlaagte docket has been made available . We delayed making it available . We apologise . The request was made last week . We should have made it available during the course of the week . We did not . A n apology is merited . It has resulted in what Ms Sello is mentioning , that she has not applied her mind to it . That delay is definitely attributable to us .”

A certain statement referred to in Mr Perumal's affidavit is part of the Langlaagte docket, but Advocates have not yet applied their mind to it so they cannot comment on it.

“The statement , the attachment that is referred to Mr Perumal 's affidavit , we are told it is part of the Langlaagte docket . But because we have yet to apply our mind to it as well , I am not in a position to point out as to where exactly is it , nor am I able to say , well , there is a deficiency here and there because I have not seen it at all .”

Chief Perumal said that the FA 1 statement would have been in the Langlaagte docket.

“Chief Perumal said that that FA 1 would have been in the Langlaagte .”

The Langlaagte docket bears reference to Silverton on the face of the documents, which is confusing because the case originated in Cape Town and Silverton should not be involved.

“it must have been opened in Silverton because it bears reference to Silverton on the face of the documents”
