While finding that the decision of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue a permit to ExxonMobil for its Gas to Energy (GTE) project was “contrary to law and improper,” High Court Judge Priya Sewnarine-Beharry has nonetheless refused to grant reliefs sought in an action which challenged that decision.
Particularly, the Judge said that the Court had to have regard to public funds already expended and invested in the project.
It seemed primarily against this background that the Judge dismissed the case filed; even as she underscored that no public good could be had from granting the reliefs sought.
