Claimants challenged the designations asserting that the designation process lacked sufficient public consultation, including a failure on the part of the government to provide adequate information and time for public involvement. The court found that the government’s approach to consultation was sufficient and dismissed the claim.Key environmental legal questions:Challenge designation process for “ecotowns” Texte intégral climatecasechart.com
