I was thinking about tracking you down yesterday, since you have been absent from this board for a while, mumbling something like: "Where is LB, when we need her?"

Your post says: "The Divisional Appeals Court of Canada, like the Office of the Ontario Mining and Lands Commissioner, is separated from state and is required to follow the provisions of the Mining, Lands, Aggregate and other Canadian Acts of law. In this case, there are no grounds for appeal."

So the AG legal-beagles will need about 5 min (no need to have 30min) to state just that, as a reminder for the Appeal Panel?

Or, they would venture out a bit more to say something about the power of the Prov as far as appropriation of land claims for the benefits of the public. Of course, fair compensation to KWG would be part of the scheme. If the Prov wants to do this then CLF Appeal would have no merit.

What about Canada, does the Feds has higher authority than the Prov as far as land use is concerned. In other words if a (Fed) Port Authority needs the NS corridor to build an RR (along with a small service road), then the Feds would just acquire the corridor from KWG (with fair compensation or with co-operation from KWG), since the Feds would pour in the money to match other contributions to build the RR, ...and this is for the benefits of all Canadians. Again, CLF Appeal would have no merit in this case.

If CLF wants to be a nuissance by starting other (perpetual) legal proceedings (against the Province or the Feds) then the Court (which-ever court) would just throw the case out?

Any legal minds out there care to weigh in?
