- Court of Appeal
The Panel breached s144(8) by failing to provide discernible reasons for its specific recommendations on zoning and height for the Promenade and Lake Road Blocks; general policy statements in the Overview Report did not constitute adequate reasons for those site-specific outcomes; practical difficulty did not excuse the statutory duty; remedy is to order the Panel to provide reasons and remit those matters for reconsideration as necessary.
