NEW LEGAL CHALLENGE TO GUNNS’ PULP

Federal Court appeal launched

Lawyers for Forests Inc have commenced a new proceeding against the Minister for Environment and Gunns Limited.

LFF has filed a notice of appeal in the Federal Court against a decision that was made last month (9 April 2009).  In April, a Judge rejected a challenge to the Minster’s decision to approve the construction and operation of Gunns’ pulp mill. 

The case will be heard by 3 judges of the Federal Court.  If LFF succeeds in the appeal, the Minister’s decision to approve the mill will be overturned. 

The date of the hearing is not yet known. 

See the attachment  for notice of appeal.
