It's not like they would have stopped the appeal either, everyone and their dog knew that we would be back in courts over the new round of consultation.
It was always going to come down to whether or not the FCA judges saw the consultation as adequate or not, that hasn't changed.

There's no stopping, the FN's still gave their evidence to a judge on the supposed lack of consultation. What they didn't do was demonstrate the counter evidence that they consulted properly, which someone who fully recognized how badly this needs to be built presumably would have done. Did you not learn that in Law School?
