Canada Carbon Provides Update on Legal Proceedings
March 01 2019 - 12:16PM
Canada Carbon Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V: CCB)
announces that on February 28th, 2019, the Company's lawyers
appeared before a Judge of the Superior Court of Quebec as part of
advancing the Court's judicial review proceedings. The purpose of
this hearing was as follows:
1) Debate the legality of certain
conclusions covered by the judicial review, seeking, among other
things, to order the Commission for the Protection of Agricultural
Lands of Quebec ("CPTAQ") to complete the analysis of the Company's
application and to render a decision within a reasonable time,
and;
2) To discuss the length of the upcoming
trial and set a date.
On the first point, the Company is asking the
Superior Court to declare that its application to the CPTAQ for the
Miller Project is not only admissible but also that the CPTAQ be
ordered to complete its analysis and render its decision within a
reasonable time. The CPTAQ asked the Court to bar any conclusions
against it on the premise that they encroached on the exclusive
jurisdiction of the CPTAQ. The Court rejected the arguments of the
CPTAQ and concluded that the matters were reviewable by the
Court.
On the second point, the attorneys for the
Company did not agree with the Municipality on the possible
duration of the upcoming trial. The Court asked the attorneys for
both parties to come to an agreement on submissions that could
shorten the length of the hearing. Once this exercise has been
completed, counsel for both parties will appear before the Court to
set the date of the trial on the judicial review.
In addition, Canada Carbon welcomes the fact
that Judge Georges Massol of the Quebec court decided last week, at
the request of the Company, to suspend the request for appeal
proceedings that are currently pending before the Quebec Court in
the wake of a decision made several months ago by the Tribunal
administratif du Québec ("TAQ") which concluded that the company's
application to the CPTAQ is "inadmissible". Counsel for GSLR and
one intervener objected to the suspension request and insisted that
this case should proceed. Mr. Justice Massol rejected their
arguments and concluded that there is a significant risk of
conflicting judgments on the issues raised in the appeal and
similar issues that are already before the Quebec Superior Court in
the above-mentioned judicial review proceedings.
