Husband Loses Million Rand Battle | Johannesburg News

A husband tried to appeal a court order forcing him to pay a million rand toward his wife’s divorce legal fees — but the judge shut it down flat. His wife, battling severe health issues including brain damage, epilepsy, and stage three breast cancer, needs constant care. The court had already ruled he must cover her legal costs to ensure she could properly pursue her case. He argued he needed more time and claimed past expenses shouldn’t count — but the judge reminded him that interim divorce rulings like this are non-appealable and that past costs are typically included. Worse, the judge ordered his lawyers to personally foot the bill for the failed appeal, calling their tactics “reckless litigation” and their advice “bad legal advice.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
