Cape Town - A City lawyer has dismissed an application for a protection order against him by a woman activist known for helping the homeless in Sea Point as âflawed and vexatiousâ.
Fund-raising co-ordinator for the Souper Troopers non-profit organisation that feeds the homeless in the Sea Point area, Caryn Gootkin, filed the application against attorney Gary Trappler at the Cape Town Magistrateâs Court.
The case will be heard on January 20.
In her application Gootkin, a freelance writer, copy editor and mother of two, said: âThe respondent has called me names such as an anarchist and anti-establishment. The plain and direct meaning of these terms is that I support the idea that people must not recognise authority in order to create or abide by a state of disorder.
