Facts of the Case
Background
The first applicant and respondent entered into a lease agreement on 7 February 2001 for premises known as the Boka Tobacco Auction Floors. On 24 December 2010, the court issued a consent order allowing the respondent reasonable access to the premises for inspection and repairs. The applicants allege the respondent exceeded this order by breaking into premises, demolishing structures, removing signage, and indicating intentions to conduct tobacco auction business, which would effect constructive eviction. The applicants seek to interdict the respondent from ejecting them and conducting business on the premises.
