The court found that Sir Mekere did not have standing to bring such applications in court as a private citizen, describing it as an incompetent application and an abuse of the process of the court.
The correct party that should be in a court of law seeking relief in the application should be the company, SDP, and not its chairman, Sir Mekere.
The three-man Supreme Court bench found that Sir Mekere, a well-known Papua New Guinean, was being used to come to court in this case for the benefit of a foreign registered company – the PNG Sustainable Development Program.
