LONDON AND SA EXPLORATION CO v ROULIOT (1890 – 91) 8 SC 74
The case of LONDON AND SA EXPLORATION CO v ROULIOT (1890–91) affirmed that land ownership in South Africa includes a natural right to lateral support from adjoining properties. The court ruled that this right is presumed to exist in lease agreements unless explicitly waived and that landowners cannot trespass on adjacent land to remove soil under the guise of necessity, but must instead seek legal remedies such as interdicts.
