A group of environmentalists lost in their application to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court to have a judicial review of a decision to delist Owls Head as a provincial park. They also wanted to challenge the government's decision to offer the 285 hectares of land to be developed into a golf course along the Eastern Shore. In her ruling, the Justice said “[I]f a remedy is sought by the public, the proper recourse in our constitutional democracy is not through the courts, but at the ballot box.” Jamie Simpson is with Juniper Law and he represented the parties that made the application for the review.
