Shell case in the Constitutional Court

In June 2024, a group of communities and environmental organizations filed petitions with the Constitutional Court of South Africa to appeal a Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) order that permits Shell to perform seismic testing on the Wild Coast.

• In June 2024, Wild Coast communities, Sustaining the Wild Coast, All Rise Attorneys, Natural Justice, and Greenpeace Africa petitioned the Constitutional Court to appeal a Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) order allowing Shell to conduct seismic testing on the Wild Coast of South Africa.
• The petitioners argue that the SCA's order, which permits the Minister to decide on Shell's most recent renewal application, is contrary to the law, is not "just and equitable", and should be set aside.
