The Heartland Appeal (Appeal of the first Bill 50 Transmission Line) is quickly approaching and this email is intended to remind you of the date, and to give you some details. The Hearing will be heard, October 12, 2012, at the Alberta Court of Appeal, Calgary (TransCanada Pipelines Tower 2600). More location details below.
The Heartland Appeal (Shaw, Stuart, et al v. Alberta Utilities Commission, et al.) will be the second hearing of the day, and considering that the Court of Appeal starts at 9:00 am, we estimate that the Heartland Hearing will begin later in the morning, or possibly early afternoon. The exact times are not posted by the Court of Appeal, so you will have to plan accordingly. If you plan on attending the Hearing, please recognize that it is a Courtroom, and quiet and good manners must be practised by all. Please consider those directly involved in the hearing, and their need to reflect and gather their thoughts prior to the Hearing. There will be opportunities to discuss the hearing and other matters after it is done. The Hearing is expected to last for 2 3/4 hours.
We will inform everyone by email when a decision has been made by the Court of Appeal. We do not expect that a decision will be rendered immediately, however, we will let you know as soon as we know.
