Facts of the Case

Background

Three farmers entered into 20-year lease agreements with the respondent for portions of Maketo Farm. The respondent served them with three-month notices to vacate, alleging breach of lease terms. The applicants brought an urgent application seeking an interdict against eviction and harassment, claiming they had not breached the agreements and had valid registered leases.
