COURT ADJOURNS LIMESTONE CASE (PAGE 51, JUNE 2, 2010

THE legal battle involving two investors and an Accra-based lawyer over a multi-million dollar limestone extracting project at Nawuley in the Jomoro District of the Western Region was yesterday adjourned to June 8, 2010.
The lawyers for the Accra-based lawyer, Mr J.E. Jainie, who is against the project asked the court for sometime to enable them to study the motion opposing the injunction filed by the counsel for the two companies leading to the adjournment.
Mr Janie, who is also an elder of one of the seven stool families at Nawuley is seeking an injunction to halt the project estimated at $120 million in the Nawuley community,
The premises of the Sekondi High Court was besieged by chiefs, opinion leaders and youth from the Nawuley community to lend their support for the two embattled investors, Ghacem Limited and Multiwall Paper Sacks Limited.
The adjournment, however, did not go down well with the sympathisers, who arrived in Sekondi at about 6 a.m. in four buses.
