TTR appeal in the High Court next week.
TTR to take appeal against the High Court decision (that went against its EPA decision) to the Appeal Court.
[QUOTE=winner69;742474]Hope they are wasting their time and effort again
At least they’ve given up on the West Coast and Kawhia projects for the moment and let consents lapse.
Actually you have to admire TTRs resolve. NZInc will be the Winner (no pun) if they get to develop this resource. This latest Leave to Appeal granted by three top includes the one important matter that needs clarification viz Is Adaptive Management lawful ? The EPA voted that it was in an earlier substantive hearing. The other matters are just noise. Something the opponents of the project are quite good at.
I wonder if Winner69 has read any at all of the many hundreds of pages of scientific study that TTR has presented? Probably not. Easier to believe the marchers and just read their placards.
Court of Appeal hearing set down for 25/26 September. Two local iwi are part of the opposing group.
(Noted that Chatham Rise Phosphate has made good progress in getting their local iwi on board for good and valuable consideration.)
Court of Appeal dismisses Trans Tasman Resources’ bid to quash High Court ruling that overturned its consent to dig up 50 million tonnes of the South Taranaki Bight a year for 35 years.
That’s very good news ...insofar as I’m concerned anyway
TTR are considering appealing the decision. The decision refers the application back to the EPA but with constraints on EPA consideration on this and possibly some oil and gas exploration applications.
300 jobs and a lot of tax revenue lost to the region if TTR does not proceed, or succeed.
TTR are appealing to the Supreme Court on the basis that the EPA did follow the correct legal approach. Can't help but think the defending locals might cop some backlash from the increasing number of unemployed there. Situation is not that dissimilar to the Health v Economy current (im)balance except no government handouts required.
The Supreme Court yesterday granted Trans Tasman Resources leave to appeal to reverse a Court of Appeal judgement which upheld a High Court decision stopping it from mining.
