The High Court considered a review of two environmental authorisations for transmission lines in the Western Cape and the applicants’ complaints about public participation. The court held that the applicants had not exhausted internal remedies and had delayed unreasonably in bringing the review, and dismissed the application.
This appears to concern review procedure under PAJA and environmental authorisations linked to transmission infrastructure.
