Legal challenge to Rosebank oil field begins

Quick Summary:

Campaigners want to stop the Rosebank oil and Jackdaw gas fields, but oil companies say they are vital.

It is understood that the oil companies will accept that the decisions to give the go-ahead for Rosebank and Jackdaw were unlawful because the emissions they would create were not properly assessed.

This came after the Supreme Court ruled in June that regulators must consider the total environmental impact of new projects - including the way fossil fuels are used by end consumers.
