Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, mining authorities, forfeited the respondent's mining claims for non-payment of inspection fees and offered them to Mining Promotions Corporation. The High Court set aside this forfeiture and ordered reinstatement of the claims. The applicants sought to appeal this decision but were out of time and applied for condonation. However, they had already complied with the High Court order by issuing invoices and accepting payment from the respondent.
