Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought to assert its rights over mining claims in Mutoko, alleging it was the prior pegger having acquired the claims from Andrew Zuze in 2012 (registered in 2017). The first respondent countered that it had validly acquired the same claims through Hope Mining Syndicate in 2016 (registered in 2018), and that the applicant's 2012 acquisition was invalid as it occurred before the applicant's incorporation in 2013.
