ANGLO OPERATIONS LTD V SANDHURST ESTATES (PTY) LTD (2006) 1 ALL SA 230 (T)
This case study examines the legal dispute between Anglo Operations Ltd and Sandhurst Estates (Pty) Ltd regarding the rights of mineral rights holders versus surface owners in South Africa. The court focused on the 'doctrine of lateral support' and whether the right to conduct open-cast mining is implied in the granting of mineral rights. The court ultimately dismissed Anglo Operations' application, ruling that the renunciation of lateral support must be expressly or tacitly agreed upon and cannot be implied by law.
