It will be interesting to see how middle ground is found, and if the construction period will be delayed until the last appeal is decided on, which includes the Ceded Land/Crown Lands issue.

There is only one active lawsuit against the TMT, as far as I understand. Mauna Kea Hui appealed Judge Nakamura's decision, which upheld the granting of the conservation district use permit. The Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals is slated to hear this case.

The plaintiffs and the University of Hawaii are currently filing their documents with the court. However, I suspect it may be a year or more before the court issues a decision. Bear in mind any decision can be petitioned to the Hawaii Supreme Court, and ultimately the U.S Supreme Court.
