The West Sussex village that saw a summer of anti-fracking protests 10 years ago has taken the government to court over oil testing.
The anti-fracking campaigner, Joe Corre, has asked the High Court to strike out the injunction granted to Ineos Upstream against protests at shale gas sites.
The ruling has been delayed in an appeal by the first campaigners found guilty of breaching an injunction against anti-fracking protests.
A high profile injunction case at the High Court ended this afternoon (5 July 2018) but the outcome is not expected until later in the summer.
