Third Party: Forest Practices Board
APPEAL NO. 2002-FOR-002

Interfor requested administrative review of a forest development plan approval in relation to a cutblock that contained marbled murrelet habitat on the Sunshine Coast. When the ministry review panel quashed the approval for the cutblock, Interfor appealed to the FAC. The Board argued that the Code did not confer any standing to licensees such as Interfor to appeal this type of review panel decision. The FAC agreed and dismissed the appeal.

Appeal dismissed.
