Background
The applicant, registered as holder of Radnor 58 mining claims in 2005, sought a declaratory order confirming his rights after the first respondent occupied the same location claiming forfeiture of the applicant's rights and registration of Koo Doo 61 claims. The Ministry of Mines confirmed the applicant's rights were never forfeited.
