possible court outcomes, page-96

If you REALLY boil it down.

Did they have 3 existing licenses that precluded them from another under land bank rules? Yes

do they own the land? No it's customary and is the property of the locals.

will they work with SMMS? Negative.

Brown J ruling will be emphatic and very clearly spell out his reasoning for his decision. It's 470 pages long apparently.

if counsel can find a Mickey Mouse reason to base their appeal on then good luck to them. I think the Chief Justice of the appeals court was a judge whose determinations on another case was referred to as precedent on the issue of registration of customary land.


I think Brown J may even have been his replacement in the high court.
