Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant appealed against the confirmation of a provisional order that interdicted the second respondent from removing equipment from Empress Mine, allowed the appellant to remove its own equipment, interdicted the appellant and others from interfering with the first respondent's mining activities, authorized the first respondent to carry out mining activities, and ejected the appellant and others from the mine. The real dispute was between the first and second respondents based on a contract to which the appellant was not privy.
