Greenpeace wins nuclear legal challenge

Greenpeace and other supporting groups outside the Royal Courts of Justice at the start of the hearings

It's been a good day here in the office. Several months ago, we launched a legal case against the government's flawed energy review which backed a new generation of nuclear power stations. The case we brought to challenge that decision was upheld by Mr Justice Sullivan in the High Court who stated that "something has gone clearly and radically wrong" with the process. As a result, the government's decision has been ruled unlawful and they have to go back to the drawing board.

It's a massive blow to the government's plans and, as a result, a new and fuller review will have to be conducted if they want to justify their continued support of nuclear power. Hurrah. Read the full story while we nip off to the pub for a drink.
