The High Court judgment which declared some Level 3 and 4 lockdown regulations invalid, is of profound importance and needs to be assessed by a higher court irrespective of whether it is correct or not.

However, the judgment did not go into detail explaining which regulations were unconstitutional and offered no reasons for such a declaration.

Trengrove spoke to this point, contending that the judgment fell short of informing the minister with sufficient details of which regulations were irrational and why they were invalid.

Advocate Reg Willis, for the Liberty Fighters Network (LFN), which brought the urgent application against the regulations, dismissed the minister's arguments, saying it was not necessary to list each regulation as the bid was a full frontal attack on each and every regulation.

Despite being represented by Willis, who made submissions to the court, Reyno de Beer of the LFN also made submissions to the court, arguing the application for leave to appeal did not suspend the court's order.
