Case 14191/91 Supreme Court (Cape of Good Hope) (1991-1992) (9 files).

The clients were the heads of 10 families who had an informal settlement in Pelican Park on land that belonged to the House of Delegates. Their dwellings were bulldozed after the Regional Representative, dept. of Local Government served notice on them in terms of the Illegal Squatting Act. A Spoliation Order was sought, but overtures of settlement were made before the matter was heard. In terms of the settlement, which the respondents insisted be kept secret, the applicants were reinstated temporarily on the same land in wooden structures paid for by the respondent. The respondent further undertook to find alternative land for the applicants.

File 1: Correspondence and file notes.
