The court had found that his decision to sign the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act is reviewable and gave him 10 days to furnish the record of the decision.

That judgment forms of an ongoing battle to review and set aside the President’s decision to sign and assent to the NHI Act led by the Board of Healthcare Funders.

Ramaphosa, in his latest bid, lists numerous grounds for leave to appeal including that the full Court, in its decision, erred in failing to take into account the breadth of the discretion enjoyed by the President.

In doing so, and in further seeking to determine how to exercise his constitutional obligation, the Court committed the separation of powers harm.

The President, not only seeks leave to appeal in the High Court but also intends to institute an application for leave to appeal directly to the Constitutional Court by 27 May 2025.
