Judicial Review application rejected
The judge's rejection of the application for a judicial review was reported on both the local Bristol tv news channels (BBC and ITV) today early evening.
A spokeswoman for SBAE (no prizes for guessing who - she's always prominent as a member of the airport consultative committee) told the BBC they were reviewing the decision but at least they had delayed any expansion for several years and the recession meant airport passenger numbers are down anyway.
No immediate suggestion that they might try to pursue the matter further legally - I'm not sure how much further they could realistically take this without leaving themselves liable for a huge amount of money if things continued to turn against them.
