The High Court dealt with an application for leave to appeal and condonation in a dispute between Liberty Coal and Mantengu Mining. The court refused condonation, dismissed the leave application, and ordered costs on scale C. The judgment also refers to earlier findings about the unlawful holding of Liberty information and devices, and to Mantengu's counterapplication and the Anton Piller order.
This appears to concern litigation over Anton Piller relief, access to information, and costs orders in a commercial dispute.
