Date set for interim fluoride hearing

It has now been confirmed that Safe Water Alternative NZ Inc’s application for an interim hearing will be heard on Friday 20 June 2014.
 
The interim hearing will take place at the High Court in Hamilton and begin at 10am. At this stage it is unknown whether a decision by the judge will be made on the day or at a later date.
 
The date for the substantive court case will be set after the interim hearing has finished.
 
Hamilton City Council is opposing the application and $50,000 was set aside in the draft 2014/15 Annual Plan to meet this cost.
 
If the application for interim relief is refused, fluoridation of the water supply will recommence as soon as practicable.
