Lynas defamation suit transferred to Kuantan High Court

Lynas detractors score another small win in battle to halt rare earth plant

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 — Australian miner Lynas Corporation lost its bid today to keep its defamation suit against detractors from being heard here after the High Court ruled to transfer the controversial case to Kuantan, Pahang.
The transfer is seen as a boost for the case of Kuantan-based local environmental group Save Malaysia Stop Lynas (SMSL) in its ongoing campaign to snuff out the rare earth giant’s move to fire up its RM2.5 billion refinery in coastal Gebeng.
In ruling against Lynas, High Court judge Datuk Louis O’Hara said having the trial heard in Kuantan would be better than holding it here on the opposite side of the peninsula, as most of the defendants and witnesses were from the east coast city. - The Malaysian Insider

26 September 2012

KUALA LUMPUR - Mahkamah Tinggi membenarkan permohonan kumpulan Anti-Lynas 'Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas' (SMSL) untuk memindahkan saman fitnah yang difailkan oleh Lynas Corporation Limited dan Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd, ke Mahkamah Tinggi Kuantan.

Hakim Datuk John Louis O'Hara bersetuju dengan peguam defendan Datuk Bastian Pius Vendargon bahawa ia akan lebih memudahkan kelima-lima anak guamnya yang kini tinggal di Kuantan untuk menghadiri perbicaraan di sana.

Hakim O'Hara memutuskan bahawa mahkamah yang berpandukan Seksyen 23 Akta Kehakiman 1964 berhubung isu bidang kuasa dan isu forum paling sesuai dan membuat kesimpulan bahawa Mahkamah Tinggi Kuantan mempunyai bidang kuasa untuk mendengar saman fitnah.
