Decision Date: August 5, 2004

Panel: Alan Andison

Keywords:  Health Act – s. 8(4); withdrawn appeal; oral decision

H & F Ventures appealed the decision of the Environmental Health Officer (“EHO”) to refuse to issue a sewage disposal permit for a property in Nanoose Bay, BC.

After the Environmental Appeal Board (the “Board”) convened an appeal hearing, the EHO advised the Board that he had granted the permit that was the subject of the appeal, and that the Appellant had intended to withdraw the appeal, but had failed to notify the Board of the withdrawal.

Accordingly, the Board issued an oral decision, with written reasons to follow, that the appeal was dismissed.
