TTR’s Lodges Notice to Court of Appeal to Seek Leave to Appeal Marine Consent High Court Judgment of 28 August 2018

On 21 September 2018 TTR lodged a notice to the Court of Appeal to seek leave to appeal the High Court judgment of 28 August 2018 regarding our marine consents for the STB iron sands project.

The basis of the TTR appeal is that the EPA did follow a legally correct approach in granting a marine discharge consent to TTR - including a comprehensive set of consent conditions specifically designed to protect the marine environment and existing interests, particularly iwi.
