AgResearch appeals High Court
decision on transgenic animal applications
AgResearch will appeal the High Court decision that said AgResearch’s applications to conduct transgenic animal research were too general.
The High Court decision said the lack of specifics in AgResearch’s four applications was the reason the Environmental Risk Management Authority (ERMA) should not have received the applications to carry out genetic modification of a range of species in containment facilities in New Zealand.
AgResearch’s General Manager Applied Biotechnologies, Dr Jimmy Suttie, says AgResearch believes ERMA was within its legal rights to accept the applications. “ERMA is the appropriate legal entity and expert body to make decisions on the outcome of these applications”.
It is not yet known when the appeals will be heard.
