When an applicant requires urgent relief then they instruct an advocate/attorney to lodge
an urgent application in court. The onus to justify the urgency of the application lies with
the applicant and the requirements of this onus is clearly established in case law, practice
directives and the rules of court. This paper makes a recommendation of punitive costs if an
application is not ripe enough for urgency before the court. The results of numerous
applications before the court that are not ripe enough hinder access to justice and efficacy
of the court and escalate costs for the respective parties.
Kada podnosilac zahteva hitnu pomoć upućuje advokatu/punomoćniku zahtev za
podnošenje hitne aplikacije sudu. Zadatak opravdanja hitnosti prijave leži na podnosiocu
zahteva i teret ovog zahteva je jasno utvrđen u sudskoj praksi, direktivama i pravilima
suda. Ovaj rad se bavi kaznenim troškovima ako zahtev nije dovoljno opravdan da bi se
smatrao hitnim pred sudom. Rezultati zahteva koji nisu dovoljno opravdani da bi se
smatrali hitnim ometaju pristup rešavanju dovoljno hitnih zahteva i efikasnost suda te su iz
tog razloga predviđeni kazneni troškovi za takve podnosioce zahteva.
