Update: Horse Hill Judicial Review
UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) notes the conclusion of
the November 17-18(th) judicial review hearing of Surrey County
Council's ("SCC") September 2019 decision to grant long-term
production planning consent at the Company's 85.635% owned Horse
Hill oil field.
As is usual in such cases, the judge, the Hon. Mr Justice
Holgate, has reserved judgement until such time as he has fully
considered all the relevant evidence and argument made by SCC, the
Company, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local
Government ("MHCLG") and the claimant, Sarah Finch (acting on
behalf of the Weald Action Group). The judge gave no date or
timescale for the issue of the judgement.
The Company will update the market upon receipt of the final
judgement. The case remains sub-judice until this time.
Stephen Sanderson UKOG's Chief Executive commented:
"We remain confident that the case put forward by SCC, the
Company and MHCLG demonstrates the claimant's case has no merit in
law and that the court will uphold SCC's decision."
