The long-running legal dispute between Namdeb Diamond Corporation and former tenant Nadia Elizabeth Van Rooyen has moved to the taxation stage, with the High Court set to determine the legal costs arising from the matter on Monday, 13 July.

According to a taxation notice filed by Metcalfe Beukes Attorneys, the matter is scheduled to be heard before the Taxing Master at the High Court in Windhoek.

Court documents show that Namdeb instituted legal proceedings against Van Rooyen in 2023, seeking the cancellation of a residential lease agreement, payment of N$83,844.48 in alleged outstanding rental, interest, eviction from the property and legal costs.
