Summa Action Dismissed from United States District Court
Carbon
Energy Limited (ASX:CNX, OTCQX:CNXAY), has
today been advised
that the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Calif brought against the Company by Summa Resource Holdings for a hearing.
rnia dismissed the complaint LC(Summa) without the need
The Court found that Carbon Energy had sufficiently demonstrated that permitting the action to proceed in the Northern District of California would be unnecessarily burdensome and that the factors considered by the Court weighed in favour of the matter being dismissed on the basis of forum non conveniens. Accordingly, the Court did not need to consider the merits of Carbon Energy's motions to dismiss and strike Summa's claim.
ENDS
For and on behalf of the Board.
