I’m back in the High Court at Manchester Civil Justice Centre tomorrow at 10:30 for the sentencing of three anti-fracking protesters and a hearing on whether the injunction preventing protest at the Cuadrilla fracking site should be varied /1 theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/j…
Meanwhile, as Cuadrilla argue for the protesters to be sanctioned, it has apologised for a 2.9 magnitude earthquake recorded at the site on Monday. Fracking at the site has been indefinitely suspended by regulators /2 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
There will be some important legal arguments about the scope of injunctions which prevent protests. Will update with who is reporting the two-day hearing /3
And here is another bit of the story - @friends_earth have been priced out of playing what would have been an important role in the application to vary the injunction. Shows how difficult these injunctions are to defend theguardian.com/environment/20…
@friends_earth @ExtinctionR Excellent @rights_info report on today’s hearing. Judgment tomorrow at 11:30 rightsinfo.org/anti-fracking-…
