Die prosedure in hierdie reël uiteengesit, word gevolg in 'n aansoek om verlof om regstreeks na die Hof te appelleer waar 'n beslissing rakende 'n grondwetlike aangeleentheid, behalwe 'n bevel van grondwetlike ongeldigheid ingevolge artikel 172 (2) (a) van die Grondwet, gegee is deur enige hof, met inbegrip van die Hoogste Hof van Appèl, ongeag of die President verlof of spesiale verlof om te appelleer, geweier het.
The procedure set out in this rule shall be followed in an application for leave to appeal to the Court where a decision on a constitutional matter, other than an order of constitutional invalidity under section 172 (2) (a) of the Constitution, has been given by any court including the Supreme Court of Appeal, and irrespective of whether the President has refused leave or special leave to appeal.
