Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants sought an urgent interim interdict to prevent the first respondent from removing machinery and gold ore from mining claims and interfering with mining operations. The first applicant owned mining claims and had entered into a tribute agreement with the second applicant, who then contracted the third applicant. The first respondent claimed rights under an earlier tribute agreement that had been withdrawn. A spoliation order existed against the third applicant, who continued operations despite the order.
