A potentially massive court battle is looming...James Hardie...said it would review the liability issue surrounding Baryulgil...While Hardie's statement was pitched to show sensitivity to the Baryulgil issue, it also attempted to point the finger at other companies involved with the Baryulgil mine over its history...[also refers to Mineral Commodities (formerly Woodreef Mining), Marlew (formerly Asbestos Mines), Wunderlich (now part of CSR)]
