5.3 Notwithstanding the resolution of the PEC, the Municipality failed to take any steps to implement this resolution. The Bank was also reluctant to take any steps without the consensus of the Municipality, which it did not provide. It was therefore necessary for the Department to approach the High Court for an order, compelling all interested parties to effect the necessary changes in line with the resolution of the PEC dated 30 March 2011. The order was granted, and it was pursuant thereto that the signatories be amended. Some controls are therefore being implemented and the expenditure is being regularised in this regard.
