The tribunal granted an order freezing amounts of R1.7m and R6.2m respectively from accounts belonging to both companies. In its papers the SIU also argued there had been no explanation for the increase in the cost of the refurbishment going from an estimated R50m to R588m. “The fees charged by the first respondent [Pro Serve Consulting] are only a percentage of the costing of the costs prepared by an entity. There is no factual basis that a proper case could be found to have been made.”
