how about knowingly presenting false or tainted evidence (the standing committee report) in the case against Xstrata in NSW. If the court relied on the report in making its judgement, I think Xstrata would be entitled to kick up a fuss.
Also, just when were the PMA director(s) leaked the decision of the standing committee, and did they breach any insider trading before the standing committee report was made public?
