Ms. Brown,

Would this case not be more complicated tha a two month case and more likely take the form of a multi-stage and multi-hearing process?

Cliffs aspires to construct a private road...I can see the violation of private interests for the greater public good as in the case of an expropriation, but what about infringing on private interests for other private interests?

As well, I think it of interest to decipher between settlement and decision. A settlement could be negotiated between the parties likely with the assistance of some form of mediation services while a decision would come from some governing body. I am not sure what a KWG/Cliffs negotiation and attempt at settlement would look like....in some ways they have opposing views yet Cliffs has an ownership stake in KWG. Odd dynamics to say the least.
