A small legal victory in Italy....1 Oct 2019 08:33
All,
The appeal on ban on future drilling at Civita has been overturned
"Ughi and Nunziante with Rockhopper Italia and Sea View 4 Corporation Ughi e Nunziante wins at the Tar Abruzzo and at the Tuscany Tar. The Tar of Abruzzo has accepted the appeal promoted by Rockhopper Italia, assisted by Ughi and Nunziante, with a team led by Andrea Marega and Roberto Leccese, canceling the negative opinion of environmental compatibility expressed by the Abruzzo region on the exploration well project "Santa Liberata 1 Dir", to be carried out in the Municipality of Scerni, as part of the "Civita" exploration license for gaseous hydrocarbons. The Region had motivated its opposition to the project on the basis of an order of the municipality of Scerni which had been forbidden to access heavy vehicles over 20 tons on the area affected by the permit, which the TAR considered not to have excluded the exceptionality of the transit.
