AI Generated Summary

This case involves the appellants' challenge against the decision of the National House of Chiefs to expunge the 2nd appellant's name from the National Register of Chiefs without notice, which they contended violated natural justice. Initially, the High Court had dismissed their claim, but the Supreme Court quashed that decision. The appellants then sought mandamus to re-enter the 2nd appellants name, denied by the Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court eventually reverse the Court of Appeal's decision, ordering the immediate re-entry of the 2nd appellant's name in the Register, affirming the High Court's initial ruling but on different reasoning.
