Respondents cited in the case were the minister of transport, the minister of co-operative governance and traditional affairs, the Road Traffic Infringement Agency and the Appeals Tribunal. Advocate Stefanie Fick, executive director of Outa’s accountability and governance division, said this means that the Aarto rollout will have to be stopped so that the act can again be amended and taken through the legislative process before it can eventually be implemented.
