In regard to the High Court hearing previously scheduled for 5 May 2026 in relation to the judicial review on the Licensed Land Surveyors (Amendment) Act 2024, we wish to inform that the hearing has been postponed and is now rescheduled to 30 June 2026.

The hearing on that date was scheduled for the Court’s consideration of the following matters:
• The Respondents’ application to strike out the judicial review.
• IGRSM’s application for a stay of enforcement of the Amendment Act, to be heard subject to the Court’s decision on the striking-out application.

To recap, our stay application seeks to prevent the enforcement of the Licensed Land Surveyors (Amendment) Act 2024, not just for IGRSM members, but in the broader interest of all affected professionals across various sectors and practice settings, pending the final determination of the judicial review.

The official interim stay order granted by the High Court remains in effect for IGRSM and its members. For your reference, the stay order can be accessed at: https://shorturl.at/TrWpY

We thank you for your continued support and will keep you updated on each milestone in this legal journey. The Geomatics Legal Fund remains open, and every contribution is valued and appreciated.
