Accordingly, we hereby demand, within * (seven) calendar days of this correspondence, the following: • A written explanation for the delay in initiating the disciplinary proceedings against Mrs Masello Moroe; • A firm timeline or schedule within which her hearing will be convened; or • In the alternative, a formal withdrawal of the interdict insofar as it relates to her. Failing the above, we have firm instructions to approach the Honourable Court with an application for rescission and/or variation of the order in terms of Rule * or the common law, on the basis that: • Our client was not party to the conduct that justified the interdict; • She has suffered undue prejudice and reputational harm; • The delay in initiating the disciplinary process offends the principle of audi alteram partem; • And the continued enforcement of the interdict, in absence of the disciplinary hearing, constitutes an unjustified limitation of her constitutional rights to freedom of association and religion.
