    Cazaly Resources Ltd (ASX: CAZ) intends to submit an application for judicial review of the
    decision made by the Honourable John Bowler, Minister for Resources and Assisting the Minister
    for State Development, to terminate application E46/678 (the Shovelanna licence) in the Supreme
    Court of Western Australia.

    "submit an application" - will or why will it be granted?

    The Company has retained leading Queens Counsel Malcolm McCusker and Gadens Lawyers to
    advise and represent it.

    Mccusker is the best QC going around

    Cazaly is also lodging Freedom of Information (FOI) applications for;
    a) Legal advice from the States Solicitors Office to the Minister and the Department of
    Industry and Resources;
    b) The Department of Industry and Resources’ submission to the Minister;
    c) The ”Statement of Principles” prepared by Rio Tinto summarising its discussions
    with the State Government in relation to royalty issues and referred to in its Section
    111A application to the Minister;
    None of these documents have been provided to Cazaly despite Cazaly’s previous request to do
    so.

    Typical FOI application under the FOI Act.

    Once Cazaly has received these documents it will finalise its grounds for judicial review and
    submit its application.

    Again mentions an "application" and the "grounds" why a judical review should be granted.

    Receipt of these documents will also allow Cazaly’s legal team to assess if the Minister has based his decision on erroneous advice.

    The word "erroneous" ikmplies in error not lawful.

    The Company has also written to the Minister requesting a full written explanation for his reasons
    for his decision. A copy of Cazaly’s letter to the Minister is attached.

    Simple letter to Minister requesting details under tyhe FOI Act with the intention to "apply" for a judicial review.

    The Company has also requested that the process of other applications covering the Shovelanna
    area be put on hold whilst the judicial review process is undertaken.

    Very significant - doubtful in the short term.

    It is the Company’s and its joint venture partner’s, Echelon Resources Ltd. (ASX: ECH), view that
    it is imperative the Minister provide a full explanation of his decision as it relates to “the Public
    Interest”. The Company has been inundated by both shareholders and others who are confused
    and angry by this decision.

    The use of FOI again - a political comment.

    It is particularly important the industry be made aware of the rationale behind the decision so that it can make fully informed investment decisions in an environment
    which is totally transparent.

    and....

    In Cazaly’s view, the Minister’s decision is damaging to investor confidence in Western Australia.
    A failure to provide a full explanation of the decision would create further damage to investor
    confidence in WA because of a lack of transparency in government decision making.

    It will be transaprent if and when the FOI application will be granted.

    Therefore CAZ has written a letter to the Minister asking for details of the decision - copies of the RIO submissions that were relevant in the Minister's decision making process under the FOI Act - and has requested that Shovelanna be put in hold.

    Now CAZ waits for advice from the Minster if their FOI application has been successful after which they can they "apply" for judical review" if their was an "erroneous" decision.

    Got another 6 - 12 months up your sleeve?
