Clive Palmer’s mining company Mineralogy has sued a private jet company for $624,000 over claims Mineralogy mistakenly paid for extensive works on a private plane it now realises it does not own.
Public records from December 2020 show the plane is registered to Clive Frederick Palmer in the Cayman Islands.PremiAir sent five invoices to Mineralogy for work on the plane, totalling $586,760.08, between July and October last year. “At all material times, Mineralogy did not own the Aircraft,” the mining company claims in court documents.Mr Palmer pictured on the steps of a different private plane in 2013.“Mineralogy made payment to PremiAir of amounts in respect of the invoices in the mistaken belief it was under a legal obligation to do so, further or alternatively that PremiAir was legally entitled to payment.”
On its website, PremiAir describes itself as providing a range of services in Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland, including maintenance, special aircraft modifications, upgrades, refurbishments, and the installation of systems used by pilots.
