High Court refuses to hear legal challenge from climate groups against Cumbria coal mine


The High Court has refused to hear a legal challenge from climate groups against the Cumbria coal mine.
Friends of the Earth and South Lakes Action on Climate Change (SLACC) launched legal challenges in January in an attempt to block the construction of the mine.
The mine was approved by Communities Secretary Michael Gove in December.
Friends of the Earth and SLACC have said they will contest the High Court's refusal to hear the challenge.
Claimants have a right to a specially convened hearing to try and persuade the court to change its mind.
