In May a court ruled that United Aggregates Limited (UAL) -- now known as Blue Circle Aggregates -- was not liable for operating its lime- stone quarry without a devel- opment permit from the Niagara Escarpment Com- mission (NEC) because of a legal defence known as "of- ficially induced error." The court accepted UAL president Bill Burkhart's evi- dence that then environment minister Brenda Elliott told him UAL could continue to expand south of Regional Road 43 without the permit. Four years ago the NEC, refused to issue UAL with a building permit and UAL was unsuccessful in two af- tempts in court to get that NEC ruling reversed. Months later the Harris gov- ernment made a major change in regulations to{ex- empt all future activities in Escarpment pits and quarries that were licenced before June 1975, from the need for a permit. fn L STRAWBERRIES RASPBERRIES, PEAS, BEETS, DILL HERB & SPANISH ONIONS PICK YOUR OWN at "The Farm" - De Paoli Ready Picked Available (Please Call Ahead) Southwest of Georgetown, 1 km west of Trafalgar Rd. or 15 Sideroad, Stewarrtown, First farm on north side of road 'Q@\ 873-2050 « 877-7976 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday - Friday ¢ 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. - 2p.m. Sunday & Holidays Rife te.
