The Socio-Economic Rights Institute Seri says it wants the Johannesburg High Court to restrict mediations between the city of Joburg and informal traders to two weeks.
This comes after the court postponed proceedings on Friday to allow both parties time to negotiate.
However, Adv Deborah Rabuda, representing the informal traders in the matter, said they want the court to compel mediation under Rule 41A of the Uniform Rules.
