Government appointed liquidators of Queensland Nickel brought Clive Palmer to Brisbane Supreme Court yesterday in a bid to take back $200 million owed over Q-N’s collapse in 2016.
The trial was immediately delayed, with Mr Palmer today pleading for further postpones it because expert defence witness, Peter Dinoris, is unavailable to testify.
Mr Dinoris was to argue Palmer had not unlawfully acted as a ‘shadow director’ of Queensland Nickel and had not allowed the Townsville refinery company to trade while insolvent, as alleged by the liquidators.
