Oral Arguments at the Supreme Court

Thursday, December 17th, 9:00 a.m.

We are very pleased with the fantastic representation before the Hawaii Supreme Court by Rory Wicks, our lead counsel from Coast Law Group LLP.  He was extremely knowledgable on the facts of the case and all aspects of environmental law, and he was very compelling in presenting the reasons why the Turtle Bay Resort Expansion Plan is THE CLASSIC CASE FOR A SUPLEMENTAL EIS.

The Court will now take the matter under advisement.  It is not know when they may be ready to render a ruling.   - 12/17/09

Keep the North Shore Country, along with Sierra Club, Hawaii Chapter, is involved in a legal challenge with Kuilima Resort Company, an Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, company, and the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting over the need to require a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Turtle Bay Resort Expansion.  The underlying Environmental Impact Statement was completed in 1985 and the developer now wants to proceed with a project that was approved in 1986.  Read the News section of this website for details.
