  • The document examines a legal dispute between claimholders in the Du Toit’s Pan Mine in Griqualand West.

The court ultimately dismissed the appeal, ruling that there is no common law duty for a mining company to continue working a claim solely to prevent damage to another claimholder, and that the cessation of work does not inherently constitute negligence or a nuisance.
