Electrix particulars relating to its charge say it was reasonably practicable for the company to have engaged with Rdagritech concerning findings in its geotechnical rockfall assessment report, dated December 1; sought expert advice from a geotechnical expert to assess the management of risks and hazards; and effectively co-ordinated and consulted with Heads Up Access in relation to its offer of service dated March 25, 2021.
Heads Up Access particulars say the company should have undertaken an adequate risk assessment, undertaken or obtained a detailed geological desktop study and field investigation, and properly identified geological hazards.
Rdagritech should have carried out a risk assessment and identified significant geological hazards, provided geological and rockfall risk-reduction advice, and effectively co-ordinated and consulted with Electrix Ltd to discuss findings and recommendations in its geotechnical rockfall assessment report from December 1.
The companies have all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
During the hearing yesterday, Judge Brandts-Giesen confirmed with counsel that 15 days were needed for a judge-alone trial.
While prosecution evidence would need to be filed by March 3, a trial would not take place until after April 30 next year, he said.
