Consent by Minister to gas production pipeline had been lawful and reasonable

High Court refuses judicial review of a decision by the Minister for Communications to give consent to the operation of a natural gas production pipeline, on the grounds, inter alia, that: (a) such a decision could not be interfered with on judicial review unless the applicant could show that a clear illegality had taken place; (b) there was no requirement for a single integrated environmental impact assessment (EIA) in respect of such a project, where consent had been granted for one aspect of a wider development; (c) the applicant had failed to show that the EIA had been inadequate; (d) the Minister had taken into account the relevant materials, so there was no case in respect of irrationality concerning the decision; and (e) an alleged failure to notify the general public of the decision did not give rise to grounds for challenge.
