Gunns20 defendants victorious – Gunns to pay $155,000



 “This is a humiliating defeat for Gunns Ltd. The result is a victory not
only for me but also for free speech and the Tasmanian forest campaign,”
said Adam Burling, Defendant #1



“The Gunns20 case has come to an abrupt and embarrassing end for Gunns just

days before trial.  Tasmanian logging giant, Gunns Ltd, has agreed to our
demands and dropped the case against defendants, paying us $155,088.00,”
said Adam Burling



“After 5 years of litigation based on lies, I have been vindicated today.
This billion dollar logging company has been forced to dump their
multi-million dollar case against a small environment centre and three
individuals. This is an absolute and complete win for us,” said Mr Burling





*Together with this settlement Gunns have paid defendants over $1.3 million
in*

*settlements and costs awards. At Gunns 2009 AGM it was revealed Gunns’*

*costs were $2.8million.*
