Procedural complexities to consider before appeal of permit to conduct environmentally hazardous operations, April 2011
What should be the extent of the hearing by the Environmental Court of Appeal when a business operator has alone appealed against a permit and requested the court to change a certain term which an Environmental Court imposed on the granting of the permit? The question is raised by the Supreme Court in Case no. 1115-09, the judgment of which was announced on 29 December 2010. The interesting aspect to this case is not, in fact, the judgment in itself but rather the reasons given by the Supreme Court for it.
