Sizewell Court Case lost

Campaigners loose bid to challenge Sizewell C licence decision in High Court. TEAGS claimed that the ONR unlawfully failed to include sea defences in its considerations when issuing a nuclear site licence for the development. Barristers for TEAGS told a hearing on Tuesday that the legal challenge over the decision should be allowed to continue while lawyers for the ONR and Sizewell C Limited (SZC), which owns the site, claimed it should be thrown out. In a ruling, Mrs Justice Lieven dismissed the claim, ruling that the challenge had “no chance of success” and was “totally without merit”. She said: “The fundamental argument advanced by the claimant is, in my view, plainly wrong.”
