The applicants sought judicial review of a decision by the Environmental Review Tribunal to quash one of their grounds of appeal.
The tribunal had previously granted leave to appeal a Director's order regarding nickel contamination in soil on only one of eight proposed grounds.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application for judicial review, finding that the tribunal had the jurisdiction to limit the scope of the appeal to the ground on which leave was granted.
The court also held that the application was premature, as it challenged an interlocutory procedural decision, and that the tribunal's decision was reasonable.
