BC Supreme Court Orders Ministers’ Decision on Pacific Booker Minerals’ Morrison Mine Be Set Aside

Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (TSXV:BKM,NYSEMKT:PBM) reported more information about the BC Supreme Court Ruling on the proposed Morrison Copper/Gold Mine in BC.

As quoted in the press release:

In his decision, Justice Affleck found the administrative process which was followed, including the decision of the previous Minister of Environment and the previous Minister of Energy & Mines, “failed to comport with the requirements of procedural fairness”. In reaching this conclusion, Justice Affleck rejected arguments by the government’s lawyer that common law rules of procedural fairness do not apply to the environmental assessment process.

The Court ordered that the Ministers’ decision be quashed and set aside, and ordered that the Company’s application for an environmental certificate be remitted to the current Ministers for reconsideration. This time, the Company and interveners will be entitled to be provided with a copy of the recommendations, if any, sent to the Ministers and will be entitled to provide written response to the recommendations in advance of a further decision.
