Taking Legal Action for the Environment
26th September 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Three campaigners from the Weald Action Group will speak at a meeting on ‘Taking Legal Action for the Environment’, hosted by Chichester & Arun Green Party.
Sarah Finch, Sue Taylor and Lorraine Inglis have taken cases to the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court to challenge oil drilling permissions and oil UKOG’s attempt at stopping protest through an injunction. They will share their experiences of working with law firms, the legal process, fundraising and more.
They will be joined by Dr Alex Clayton from Winchester Action on Climate Change, who are opposing an application for oil development at Avington, near Winchester, in the South Downs National Park. The Park refused permission for this, but the planning inspectorate overruled this decision.
The event is FREE but donations are welcome
