pollution allegedly occurred during the first four months of 2014.

the opinion that it is more likely than not that a court will adjudicate in favour of the local authority.

represents a reliable estimate of the costs to rehabilitate the polluted environment.
On 15 November 2015, the legal representatives of the respective parties settled the case outside
the court. The settlement agreement inter alia stipulated that Saty (Pty) Ltd has to pay an amount of
R2 800 000 for environmental pollution to the local authority on or before 15 January 2016. The
