Résumé
Campaigners from the World Development Movement, PLATFORM, and People & Planet brought suit against the United Kingdom Treasury for its lack of adequate environmental and human rights considerations in investing with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). RBS has allegedly used public monies to finance several controversial companies and projects that undermine the UK’s commitment to halt climate change. The High Court denied the request for permission to hold a judicial review over the Treasury’s actions.
