Grounds
1 THE FUTURE OF KC COULD BE IRREPARABLY DAMAGED IF THE DECISION TAKEN WAS IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO EFFECT, SINCE THERE IS NO READY SAFEGUARD AGAINST THE RISKS INVOLVED FOR THE EXPLOITATION OF THE MINE AND THOSE RELATING TO THE HURRIED RECONVERSION OF THE UNDERTAKING .
2 IT SEEMS PROBABLE THAT SUCH A RECONVERSION WOULD BE IRREVERSIBLE .
3 BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITIES OFFERED BY THE RULES OF PROCEDURE OF THE COURT THE SETTLEMENT OF THE MAIN ACTION CAN BE EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN A SHORT TIME .
Decision on costs
4 AT THIS STAGE, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO RESERVE COSTS .
