Ann: Former landowner advice of appeal , page-3

he hasn't got a hope of getting an appeal up. The law was always clear and everyone knows he is running a political case in the court, which judges hate. If you don't like the law, then the process whereby that is changed is of course a political one of lobbying and voting ( and of course bribery/corruption)

the judge said:

"As it relates to this case and the process as suggested by the Appellant, if the Appellant’s position were accepted, I have little doubt it would send a chill
throughout the mining industry in Nova Scotia. The process involving Vesting

Orders would be elevated to trial status. The Courts would be put in a position whereby they would be required to make political decisions. Courts would in effect become legislators creating processes and rules where none are now prescribed. This would be outside the normal role of the Court and it would be clearly contrary to the legislative framework now in place for Vesting Orders.
