Lead court found non-compliant

STELLA Hare case for damages against the mining giant Xstrata has been struck by a Court ruling on Friday that its claim of lead poisoning has not complied with personal injury laws.

Six years, the mother of Stella Bonnie Hare, photography, filed a claim against Xstrata and Mount Isa Mines, the State Government and Mount Isa City Council on behalf of his daughter in April last, seeking unspecified because damages alleged brain and nervous system impairments caused by exposure to lead and other toxic contaminants around Mount Isa.

The end of last year, a judge of the Supreme Court held the notice of claim filed against the mining giant was in compliance with personal injury laws. Last month, Xstrata has appealed this decision, arguing the claim did not adequately address a number of relevant issues.

Xstrata's lawyers argued there was a "vagueness and lack of understanding" on some of Miss Hare responses in the claim to questions about how society has caused the alleged poisoning. They also stated that there was medical evidence of its shortcomings were caused by premature birth. Friday, the plenary of the Court of Appeal of Paris Xstrata confirmed the call, ruling that the application filed by Ms. Hare did not follow the laws.

In a statement issued on Friday Xstrata Copper North Queensland chief operating officer Steve de Kruijff the company said was pleased with the outcome.

"The health of a child is a sensitive subject, but there is some basic information, we believe that the complainant's solicitor should have regard to this claim, such as how it is alleged that he was exposed lead and details of any prior health status, "he said." The Court of Appeal agreed, and in fact ordered the plaintiff and his lawyers to launch the new application process, including providing us with these details.
