Sally Gepp

I specialise in resource management and environmental law and policy.  I can assist with district and regional plan or resource consent processes, from Council hearings through to mediation, Environment Court hearings and higher court appeals.  I am also experienced in the use of judicial review to challenge decisions, as well as declaration and enforcement proceedings.  

I am involved in the development of environmental policy.  I can help you to effectively advocate for policy development or change that works for your interests and for the environment.

JUDICIAL REVIEW

Judicial review can be used to test the legality of a decision made by a council, government department and many other decision-makers even where there is no right of appeal. Decisions about notification of resource consent applications are an example.

DECLARATIONS

Declarations are a tool for clarifying legal issues, such as the existence or extent of a power or function, or the lawfulness of a plan or of a specific act or omission. They can be very powerful as they tend to focus on matters of legal principle or interpretation and so have wide-ranging implications.
