MR STRYDOM
The fact of the matter - initially there was an application but a defective application but my submission is there is still a defective application, that doesn't fall away, the mere fact that that specific document is now being returned doesn't mean there's not a defective application - that remains in place - but after return and after the other steps have been taken, after the further particulars have been provided and at the form completed properly, then it becomes an application in terms of Section 21 (a) which meets the requirements of the Act and my submission is that is what happened here.
