In the present case the Court of Appeal held that the question whether an Environmental Statement for the deposit of lower level radioactive waste should have considered a larger scheme (the future expansion of the landfill in question), within the context of indirect secondary or cumulative effects, was a question of fact and judgement. He rejected the appellants argument that the question is one of law and declined to refer the matter to the Court of Justice.
