Although Adv Jiba received the invitation to make representations to the committee, she submitted no representations. Instead, on 7 August 2019 Adv Jiba initiated a court application in the Western Cape High Court to review and set aside the findings of the inquiry and the decision of the President to remove her from office ahead of the outcome of the parliamentary process. On 18 October 2019, the High Court dismissed the application in Part A brought by Adv Jiba.
