The Cape High court has dismissed an application that sought to clear the way for a consumer class action against a bread price fixing cartel
However, a lawyer for the applicant said the action would go ahead anyway.
The attorney, Charles Abrahams, said summons would be served on Tiger Brands on Friday and on Pioneer and Premier Foods as soon as possible thereafter. Abrahams told reporters the application for certification would now form part of the main action.
The application dismissed by Acting Judge Francois van Zyl was for certification of the claim as a class action.
He did not give reasons, saying he would supply a full judgment later.
