Ann: PEP11 Update, page-215

Jrye,

If the government abuses the court process, the judge will not allow adjournments.

Also appeals can only occur with a trial, not if the matter is finalised by consent.

Your scaremongering without knowing due process.

The government will make a decision I believe without this being played out in court.

If in court, ramifications for the government are real.

Sensitive communications - emails, sms, phone logs become public, along with departmental workings.

That's if a trial occurs.

If at mediation, those remain confidential, but asset energy could ask for a cost order, along with the two orders sought in the originating motion.

Depending how mediation plays out, asset could opt for a trial if the governments hand is very weak.

Once litigation starts, it only stops if the plaintiff drops the action, the defence agrees with the plaintiff via consent or a judge decides.

1. We have had laws in nsw passed, but those laws are not backdated before pep11 applications.

Nor does it cover federal waters, where a well will be sunk.

2. Then at federal level a change of minister from resources to industry portfolios.
