Chinese-owned nickel plant in PNG shut down after toxic slurry spill
Quote:
Landowners had fought a legal battle to prevent the mine from disposing of its tailings in the ocean via a deep-sea pipeline, however this failed in the courts in 2010.
Plaintiffs in the case chose to fire their lawyer and abandon proceedings, a decision National Court Justice David Cannings said was "to a degree, suspicious".
He said "reasonable people" would question whether the plaintiffs had been intimidated, threatened or paid off.
