by WCID on August 1, 2010
Gagged: The Gunns 20 and Other Law Suits. The inside story of the defence of the Hindmarsh Island bridge defamation cases, an Animal Liberation battery hen case, and the infamous Gunns 20 law suit. In December 2004, forestry giant Gunns Ltd sued Bob Brown, the Wilderness Society and eighteen other environmentalists as a result of the campaign to protect Tasmania’s forests. During the next five years, Gunns suffered a series of legal loses and capitulated against many of the defendants.
This is an inside story by “Bush Lawyer”, Dr Greg Ogle. Greg was the Legal Coordinator for The Wilderness Society and was responsible for coordinating their response to the Gunns 20 case.
