A LEGAL case between the North West government and MR Properties has been dismissed with costs by the Mmabatho High Court.
The case was lodged by MR Property Developers over the sale of three block of flats in Mahikeng by the North West Housing Corporation (NWHC).
The provincial human settlements department was served with court papers as a result of a legal case registered by MR Properties, a company that alleged to have bought the three block of flats (Kagisano, Wimpy and Kamogelo) around Mahikeng from the NWHC.
Following the realisation that there was no sale agreement between the NWHC and MR Properties, the department decided to retain its property.
During the process, MR Properties demanded a sum of R22-million for cancellation of a pledge session agreement.
The department refused to pay the amount citing that there was never a financial transaction between the corporation and MR properties.
In its defence, the department argued that there was no valid contract between the NWHC and MR Properties and that there was no transfer of right and obligation to the complainant.
MR Properties made an application for leave to appeal and was dismissed with costs.
