Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought a spoliation order and interdict against respondents regarding mining operations at Morven 9 and Sarah 20 claims. A boundary dispute arose when the 2nd respondent seized a compressor from what applicant claimed was Morven 9, but which the Provincial Mining Director later determined was actually Gamecock mine. The matter was referred to the Provincial Mining Director for boundary determination.
