Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought an interdict to prevent the first respondent from allocating hunting quotas to third parties, claiming their safari concession contract had been renewed. The contract originally ran from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2018. The applicant alleged renewal was granted in March 2018 and formalized in May 2018, but the first respondent later disputed the validity of this renewal, citing procedural irregularities and alleging the renewal violated public procurement laws.
