In its ruling Wednesday, the state Supreme Court noted that BLNR voted to approve TMT's permit in 2011, subject to several conditions, including that a contested case hearing be held.
In a concurring opinion, state Supreme Court Justice Richard Pollack wrote that "the board failed to conduct a contested case hearing before deciding the merits of UH's application and summarily granted the requested permit without duly accounting for the constitutional rights and values implicated. The board acted in contravention of the protections of Native Hawaii customs and traditions."
