PETALING JAYA: The Court of Appeal today dismissed an activist’s appeal challenging the planning permission granted to Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd to construct a permanent disposal facility in Gebeng, Pahang.
A three-member panel, led by Federal Court judge Che Ruzima Ghazali, sitting with Justices Firuz Jaffril and Ong Chee Kwan, ordered Tan Bun Teet to pay RM25,000 in legal costs to each of the respondents – the Pahang state planning committee, the Kuantan City Council (MBK), Gading Senggara Sdn Bhd, and Lynas Malaysia, Bernama reported.
Delivering the court’s unanimous decision, Ong said Tan failed to file the judicial review application within the prescribed time under Order 53, rule 3(6) of the Rules of Court 2012.
