## Summary of the Case

### The Dispute

A mining company (Lepidico Chemicals) wants to use a road on someone else's property (Ombujomenge Close Corporation) to access their mine. They claim the road is a public road. The property owners disagree and have blocked the road.

### The Legal Battle

Lepidico Chemicals went to court to force the property owners to open the road. The property owners were late in responding to the court and asked for more time.

### The Court's Decision

The court refused to give the property owners more time. The main reason is that the property owners' lawyer made statements in court documents about facts that the lawyer didn't personally know. This is not allowed. The property owners should have made these statements themselves.

Because the property owners didn't follow the correct legal procedures, they lost the case and have to pay the mining company's legal costs.

The case will continue on another date to decide if the road is actually public and if the mining company can use it.
