DA must pay more than R1m for my legal fees - De Lille
28 June 2018
Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille says the Democratic Alliance will have to pay more than R1m of her legal fees, after the Western Cape High Court awarded costs during her review of the party's decision to cancel her membership.
The High Court on Wednesday set aside the DA's "unlawful" determination that De Lille had ceased to be a party member following comments she made on radio, with costs.
The parties had appeared in court on three occasions to argue the merits of her removal since May.
Outside court on Thursday, De Lille revealed to journalists what it had cost her to review the party's decision to axe her.
