The chain of delegation from the Minister to the Group Manager was valid; reports prepared by a senior official satisfied the requirement for a Chief Executive report (Carltona or equivalent authority); on the merits Bounty failed to establish reasonable cause or reasonable efforts to acquire required seismic data or secure drilling such that revocation under s39(2) was unjustified; accordingly both appeals against the s39(2) revocation notices are dismissed.
