A nonprofit organisation approached the court seeking an order declaring that the CIPC had no authority to issue the essential services certificate to businesses.

The department of trade and industry and competition has welcomed the Gauteng High Court decision not to grant Sakeliga the relief it sought in a matter involving the lawfulness of the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission’s Issuance of certificates for companies to render service in the first phase of the Covid-19 lockdown.

The service was voluntary for companies who wished to log their details with the government over the period. The department said: “The DTIC has welcomed a decision by the Gauteng High Court, which declined to give Sakeliga the relief it sought on the lawfulness of the CIPC certificates issued to companies which were permitted to render essential services during the first phase of the lockdown.”

The court, therefore, declined to make an order in favour of Sakeliga, ruling that it would be inappropriate to make any finding in respect of the declaratory relief directed at the CIPC issue.
