Stake Bank Granted Application for Judicial Review of Port of Magical Belize Environmental Clearance
Stake Bank Enterprises has been granted an application for judicial review of the environmental clearance granted to Port of Magical Belize.

They had also alleged the clearance was given without adequate research and documentation, which is something the Chief Environmental Officer Martin Alegria has refuted.
