Phnom Penh’s Court of First Instance has rejected the complaint filed by the lakeside residents’ lawyer in order to halt the filling operations.

By filing this complaint on the 9th of September, Chuong Chu Ngy, lawyer of the lakeside residents, hoped to obtain a protection mandate. Contacted by Cambodge Soir Hebdo, he specified that the Phnom Penh’s Court of First Instance decided that it couldn’t give a verdict on land dispute. According to this Court, the dispute doesn’t directly concern the contract signed between the town hall and the company and has thus to be processed by the cadastre.

Chuong Chu Ngy also indicated that he was preparing a file for the Court of Appeals.
