Facts of the Case

Background

Twelve applicants, members of the Zimbabwe Cane Farmers Association, sought a declaratory order confirming their membership after the Association rejected their payments and claimed they had resigned by conduct. The applicants had failed to pay levies between 2015-2017, then attempted to pay arrears, but engaged in conduct including forming a parallel executive structure and disrupting meetings.
