Our legal eagles will continue to work through the many aspects of this case as it proceeds in the Land Court. Having begun on 20th April with the site visits to BNR and other properties within the mine area, it is expected to run for six weeks. Our Facebook page will endeavour to give you brief snapshots of matters that strike us as we listen to the hearings, in our ‘Court Catch’ infosquares, shared on Instagram and Twitter.

Witnesses who appeared in Court in Week 2 (26th- 29th April ) included: Nui Harris (Manager at Waratah Coal Pty Ltd); Natasha McIntosh (Principal Scientist and Director at Orange Environmental Pty Ltd); Dr Ross Seedsman and Dr Phillip Pells, Subsidence Experts, in concurrent evidence sessions.

We will publish here the plan for Week 3 of the trial when we receive it.

Meanwhile the Environmental Law web page is a good site on which to find a summary of the history and status of this case. It is replete with links and gets updated.
