While the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has ordered members of the controversial Gupta family to return an aircraft to a Canadian bank within five days, it has given them a small reprieve.
The court first wants to determine whether they are able to comply with the order, and if not, why their non-compliance was not willful and in bad faith.
It has therefore suspended its order.
Earlier on Friday, the court found that Atul Gupta, his wife Chetali, as well as Westdawn and Oakbay Investments had breached a court order that they return the now infamous Bombadier Global 6000 to Export Development Canada (EDC).
In a previous application lodged by EDC and Stoneriver, Judge Fayeeza Kathree-Setiloane ordered that the aircraft be delivered to Lanseria airport.
However, the case returned to court for a contempt of court application after the jet was not delivered.
