Lawyers for the environmental activist Ben Pennings say the long-running case against him brought by the mining company Adani should be thrown out as an “abuse of process”, telling the Queensland supreme court the remaining claims are “embarrassing”, “incredibly weak” and “highly problematic”.
Adani, which operates in Australia as Bravus, first sued Pennings in 2020, alleging he had sought to disrupt the operations of the Carmichael coalmine, its suppliers and contractors.
