Speaking to reporters later, Bastian said that the judge has agreedfor the injunction to be heard on an inter-parte basis.
The judge has directed us to file an affidavit for theinter-parte injunction hearing to restrain the defendants frompublishing any statement in opposition to Lynas, he said. Bastian said the plaintiffs had originally applied for aninjunction on an ex-parte (one party) basis against the defendants. We asked to be heard.
