The Queensland supreme court has struck out substantial parts of Indian mining giant Adani’s case against environmental activist Ben Pennings, describing some of the company’s claims as “confused and embarrassing”.
Speaking outside the court on Friday, Pennings said he was “extraordinarily relieved” by the judgement, but that the case remains afoot. Adani has until February to potentially re-plead the sections of its claim that were disallowed by Justice Susan Brown.
