Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants sought a stay of execution of paragraph 4 of a court order that cancelled their Olympia 7 Mine certificate of registration. The order was granted by default when applicants failed to file opposing papers at the confirmation stage, as they believed the relief sought would not prejudice them since they were mining separately at Olympia 7, distinct from the respondent's mines.
