The Constitutional Court considered consolidated leave to appeal applications concerning a just and equitable remedy in litigation over an exploration right on the Wild Coast. It granted leave to appeal, upheld the appeals, and set aside the Supreme Court of Appeal’s order. The judgment also refers to sections 24 and 172(1)(b) of the Constitution and sections 79 to 81 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002.
This appears to concern environmental, mining, constitutional and public participation issues in litigation about exploration rights on the Wild Coast.
