Full Trial DSTP Case

In this mornings ruling, Judge Cannings refused the application by Louis Medaing in joining the current proceedings between Eddie Tarsie and others against MCC and the State. Mr. Medaing is also a landowner from the Basamuk area where MCC's refinery plant is. Louis has now filed a separate case and submissions on this will be made by Louis's Lawyer this afternoon at 1.30pm.

The court as also ruled infavour of the plaintiffs (Eddie Tarsie, Farima Siga and Peter Sel) to withdraw from the current proceedings. The Judge mentioned that the manner in which these 3 plaintiffs withdrew at the start of this full trial in any persons mind is very suspicious.

While all these are going on, the important thing is the THE COURT INJUNCTION against DSTP by the Ramu Nickel Mine is STILL IN PLACE.

Court resumes this afternoon so stay tune for the next update.
