High Court refuses application for leave to bring judicial review proceedings in environmental litigation, where the institution of proceedings was delayed as the Applicant sought to obtain costs protection, on the grounds, inter alia, that the Applicant's objective of obtaining assurances that its intended judicial review proceedings would benefit from costs protection could have been achieved by less disruptive means, resulting in the Applicant failing to establish good and sufficient reason for granting an extension of time.
Administrative law - costs protection in environmental litigation - question of whether an applicant is entitled to defer the institution of proceedings pending their obtaining assurances in respect of costs protection in environmental litigation - statutory judicial review - Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1997 - failure to obtain assurances on costs protection - extension of time in judicial review proceedings - leave for judicial review refused - objective of obtaining an assurance that its intended judicial review proceedings would benefit from costs protection could have been achieved by less disruptive means - failure to establish that there is good and sufficient reason for granting an extension of time
