The environmental organizations want a temporary halt in operation and development of the petroleum fields, but the Borgarting Court of Appeal says no to this. Today’s decision is about what will happen to the three petroleum fields right now, before the climate lawsuit has been fully dealt with in the judiciary. The appeal case of the climate lawsuit is divided into two. The main case will be dealt with later, but on Monday the most urgent decision was made. – The Court of Appeal’s conclusion is that the request for a temporary injunction is not accepted. The Court of Appeal attaches considerable importance to democratic considerations and considerations about the courts’ right of review, which dictate that the concrete decisions to deal with the climate crisis, including a possible shutdown of petroleum activities, must primarily be taken by the Storting and the government, says the Court of Appeal.
