I have very little knowledge of the Law and Court System but believe that the Appeal can only be based on the previous evidence and that the Trial Judge has interpeted the Law in a manner which the Plaintiff, Canada Chrome, does not agree with. I am sure no new evidence is allowed and if so, there would be no reason for the Attorney General to Appear on Cliff's behalf. With all the talk how this Ruling will set a new precedent, you would think Canada Chrome would have tremendous support from the whole Mining Industry and yet they seem to be standing alone in this fight with the mighty Cliffs and Ontario Government. Maybe if this ruling goes in Canada Chrome's favour, Mr. Gravelle and Mr. Rickford will finally be able to say the word KWG in public. I further believe that even if Cliffs do not offer any kind of further defence of their position, the Appeal must proceed, as Canada Chrome needs this Ruling that was not in their favour dismissed to again retain complete control of their Esker Right of Way. Again, I certainly am not a lawyer and this is just my opinion as to what is at play with this Appeal. rj
