Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought a final interdict to protect his mining claim SARAMINE 'A' from alleged interference by the respondent. The respondent opposed the application, arguing that the mining claim encroached on her legally allocated agricultural plot (Plot 6 Woodridge) and that the applicant had no clear right as he failed to obtain required consents under the Mines and Minerals Act.
