The application for judicial review is dismissed because the Associate Minister did not predetermine the applications, exercised a lawful discretion in imposing a two year term as an incremental and precautionary measure supported by evidence of user conflict and uncertainty, imposed conditions that were within statutory power and aimed at managing effects, did not unlawfully suspend statute or rely on future legislation, and the plaintiffs did not establish a substantive legitimate expectation of a 10 year term.
