Stoverink, A v Higgins

Bernardus Johannes Maria Stoverink and Antonius Gerhardus Albertus Stoverink brought an appeal against the decisions of the Mining Registrar to determine compensation for the renewal of mining claims MC60049 and MC60301. The Registrar had determined compensation for the renewal of the mining claims based on the weight of the material provided and the impact of mining and drought conditions. The appellants argued that the Registrar had not properly considered the relevant factors in determining the compensation.
