KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian court has kept on hold a license granted to Lynas Corp Ltd's controversial rare earth plant, delaying until next month a decision on whether to consider judicial reviews aimed at permanently blocking production.

Australia's Lynas, which received a temporary operating license for the $800 million plant early in September, had aimed to start production this month.

The firm confirmed in a statement that the launch would be delayed and gave no new timetable.
