Problem: Pressure Equipment Regulations
Mr Z's company (specializing in manufacturing pressure equipments) has a contract with Mr P's company in terms of which Mr Z's company is to manufacture 100 pressure equipments for Mr P's company. After the delivery of the 100 pressure equipments, Mr P begins to make use of the pressure equipments. However, there is one pressure equipment that he cannot safely use in accordance with its design criteria and cannot have the necessary repairs effected immediately. However, apart from the foregoing one, he manages to send some of the pressure equipments for repairs. However, the repaired pressure equipments get sent back to him without a certificate in which the extent of the repair is described.
It also turns out that there is a dispute of a technical or safety issue on the 100 pressure equipments delivered to Mr P, which could not be reasonably resolved between an approved inspection authority and Mr Z's company. Mr Z's company approaches the Minister of Energy in order to have the dispute between them resolved.
Answer the following question using South African legislation, regulations and case law:
Advise the Minister of Energy on whether Mr Z's company followed the law in resolving the dispute between his company and an approved inspection authority.
