Something about applying before a 20 day period. All the judge said was go re-apply since I can't look at this since you didn't follow the procedures.

In Canada, when filing for a judicial review of a decision, you only can file for that review once all other avenues have been exhausted. CEN filed before the end of the 20 day period from the intent to deny letter to the deny letter. They did not allow the 20 day period to expire so the judicial review filing was withdrawn because at the time of the filing, there still was a chance HC would grant a license after CEN, in Bill's words, cooperated with Health Canada and provided more information to them for the license approval. Once the denial letter was issued after the 20 day period, the company could then apply.

You would think Joe Byrne or Bill Chaaban, both lawyers would have been aware of that fact. But since they could not get the address correct on the application filing, the fact they filed too soon was not surprising. The actual address on the initial filing was actually incorrect. Now that was funny.
