An appeal cannot be brought against a decision of a Magistrate’s Court exercising civil jurisdiction, where the parties have agreed in writing signed by or on behalf of each party that the decision is final, unless the party seeking to appeal proves that —
the decision is affected by fraud or illegality; or
there was a fundamental breach of the rules of natural justice in the proceedings resulting in the decision.
An agreement mentioned in subsection (1) —
may be made before or after the decision to which the agreement relates is made; and
may relate to part of a decision, in which case references in subsection (1) to a decision are to be read as references to that part of the decision.
