Third Party: Forest Practices Board
APPEAL NO. 1998-FOR-04

The appeal issue was in regard to penalty assessment—whether non-Code contraventions could be considered. The Board agreed with the Appellant that it would be improper to consider former trespass violations of the Forest Act when calculating a penalty under the Code. However, the appeal was dismissed because the FAC decided that the penalty amount was justified for other reasons.

Appeal dismissed.
