I think the penny just dropped for me in regards to the Zijin & Cominiere case against AVZ.
Perhaps I'm just slow and you're all like "No shit sherlock."
I think most of us assumed it's just a part of some "play", but a little worried they might have something none the less.
So to realise their reason now gives me closure on it.
It's just for appearances of course, to save face.
AVZ are saying they have acted poorly/illegaly.
They're a company and have people to answer to, so if they're to be seen as the good guys, they have to act in accordance with a company doing the right thing. If they were doing the right thing then that would mean AVZ is doing the wrong thing.
It follows that by AVZ not agreeing to their "perfectly legal" 15% aquisition in Dathcom, the bad and evil AVZ must be sued for all the damage they're causing to the good guys.
So that's what they must be seen to be doing, suing AVZ for disruption to the project, and their financial losses.
Because that's what a company doing the right thing would be doing!
*Edit: Oh and of course to apply threatening pressure to their opponent AVZ is a bonus.*
Of course they will never go ahead with the case, they just had to initiate proceeedings as a public display. Because that's what they would do IF they were in the right and were the good guys here. They've got BILLIONS to squander on these kinds of games.
But I think they're finally bowing out anyway with the headline above.
And they have to give a reason why they're bowing out other than their illegal activities being thwarted, so instead they just say it's too expensive.
Fuckers.
