-
$3 million plus interest;
-
damages of $55,000 plus interest; and
-
85% of the Company's legal costs.
As previously announced, the proceedings began on 12 October 2014, when Beijing Joseph Investment Co.

Ltd (the Plaintiffs) obtained ex parte injunctive relief against the Company in the Supreme Court of New South Wales without notice to the Company.
