The court found in Absa's favour by setting aside the Public Protector's remedial actions and awarded punitive costs against the Public Protector. We welcome the decision of the court. It confirms our position and submissions to the Court that Absa does not owe any money to the government because it paid fair value for Bankorp. The Court found that the Public Protector "did not conduct herself in a manner which should be expected from a person occupying the Office of the Public Protector".
