Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants sought an urgent interdict to stop mining operations by the 1st respondent pending the determination of their application for rescission of a consent order granted in HC 1543/19. The consent order had quashed a directive stopping mining activities. The applicants claimed they were not joined in the prior proceedings and that the order was erroneously sought.
