Respondent later had caused registrar to issue a warrant of execution that applicant should give a specified amount to respondent due to non-payment of fees of their children. Thus, execution steps were taken against the applicant and this application was filed. Applicant contended that the respondent lacked locus standi to claim payment of amount allegedly owed to him. The case of <em>Eke<\/em> v. <em>Parsons<\/em>, 2016 (3) SA 37 (CC) was referred to where it was held that once a settlement agreement had been made an order of Court, it was like any other order and to be interpreted as such.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court was of the view that there is no justification as to why Court should accede to applicant\u2019s prayers as in notice of motion. Court observed that arguments advanced by the applicant are without substance as the applicant\u2019s liability for payment of the tertiary or after school expenses is clearly established in clause 2.3 of the deed of settlement. Therefore, the application was dismissed. [MM v.
