The National Court on 22 January 2024 upheld review, quashed the minister’s cancellation and ordered a permanent injunction subject to the minister exercising cancellation powers through the Forestry Act process. The 2024 Mayur annual report records that a later application by PNGFA and four landowner groups for leave to review the judgment was dismissed on 4 October 2024. The judgment cites a 2 November 2023 affidavit by Tom Charlton. It treats him as a company witness; the ruling concerned legality/procedure of the ministerial permit cancellation and establishes no personal misconduct. No evidence reviewed establishes deforestation, environmental breach or personal misconduct by this executive. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The court record specifically identifies executive affidavits and the named subsidiary. There was no personal finding of liability or wrongdoing. **Relevance:** Relevant to oversight of the PNG forestry carbon project and legal strategy; the challenged 2022 cancellation was quashed, but subsequent project implementation/economic outcome was not verified.
