This was purportedly pursuant to the Mining (Bougainville Copper Agreement) Ordinance 1967. The mining company sought to have the order quashed. It was not clear that the Wardens Court acted under the correct provision of the legislation. There was a failure to clearly identify and specify the persons on whose behalf the award for compensation was made. Compensation was not necessarily tied to the duration of the lease. The compensation was for the loss of a right and would be more properly paid in a lump sum. Order was quashed. Texto completo COU-159867.pdf
