GREENPEACE has vowed to continue its fight in the Supreme Court after what it described as a victory for the fossil fuel industry in Scotland’s highest civil court. 

A legal bid by campaigners to have the British government’s decision to allow BP to drill for oil at a field in the North Sea overturned was rejected in the Court of Session today, amid the climate emergency. 

The environmental group took legal action calling for BP’s permit to drill the Vorlich field in 2018 to be revoked.
