Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa has applied for leave to appeal last month’s Western Cape High Court ruling in favour of Fred van der Vyver.

The actuary instituted a R46 million civil claim against the Minister, saying he had been maliciously prosecuted by police detectives investigating the 2005 murder of his girlfriend, Inge Lotz.

A separate trial is expected to take place next year in order to decide how much of the claim Van der Vyver is entitled to.
