Mining giant Adani is granted an injunction ordering an activist to stop using 'confidential material' it claims is frustrating the development of its mine and rail network in the Galilee Basin.
Mining giant Adani has been granted an injunction ordering an activist to stop using "confidential material" it claims is frustrating the development of its mine and rail network in the Galilee Basin.
Justice Martin said the protest activity undertaken by the group had led to at least three contractors withdrawing from negotiations."The information published on the social media accounts reinforces that the Galilee Blockade is determined to continue to obtain confidential information and to use it, and other information, to place pressure upon contractors to either withdraw from negotiations or to withdraw from contracts," Justin Martin said.
"The 'Stop Adani' movement is massive. I'm just one passionate person. They really can't sue all of us."In a statement, an Adani spokesperson said the company sought the injunction in order to prevent Mr Pennings from continuing what the company claims is, "a sustained campaign of harassment and intimidation against our business and contractors, whilst the civil legal proceedings that we have brought against him are underway".
