British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Baynes Sound Area Society for Sustainability v. Comox Strathcona (Regional District), 2009 BCSC 565 (CanLII):
The petitioners say that the District received information from the proponent, and its consultant, after the close of the public hearing, without affording the petitioners a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions on that new information. They say the governing principles for the determination of their petition are prescribed in Re Bourque,[5] Karamanian v. Richmond,[6] and Eddington v. Surrey.[7]
