Request was denied for postponement or delay of the ruling from the Superior Administrative Court (TSA) regarding the resolution by the Ministry of Environment to cease and desist all farming activity within the boundaries of the Valle Nuevo National Park.
Readers will recall that the Ministry of Environment issued Resolution 14-2016 last year that provided a period of 120 days for farming and other activities to cease and residents to leave the National Park. The deadline for this period is 29 January 2017, but the plaintiffs have filed an appeal saying that this timeframe should end on 10 March, considering the date of publication of the resolution in the national press.
However, the Ministry asserts that the grace period began from the moment the resolution was put up on their webpage.
Subsequently, new documents were filed by the plaintiffs and lawyers from the Ministry of the Environment and the Justice Department quickly moved to register their objection to the new filings. The TSA postponed their final decision on this matter until Friday, 27 January 2017.
