Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, who is the respondent's son, sought eviction of his father from nine mining claims that were forfeited from the respondent by the Ministry of Mines in October 2017 and subsequently registered in the applicant's name. The respondent opposed the summary judgment application only in respect of three mines, claiming an agreement existed allowing him to work those claims.
