The government said the coal mine is compatible with climate commitments, but campaigners argue the coal, which would be used for the steel industry, should be left in the ground to stave off global heating and international condemnation.
"With the world facing a climate emergency, we shouldn't have to take this challenge to court. Any sensible government should be choosing to leave coal in the ground."
Rowan Smith, solicitor at Leigh Day acting for FOE, said a"critical issue" was the"signal that granting a new coal mine in the middle of a climate emergency would send to the rest of the world". Regular coal prices rose after Russia cut off Europe's gas supplies, currently near an all-time high at $400 a tonne.
