She took her concerns directly to the heart of the UN in Geneva, where the issues were discussed with committee members from a number of EU countries.
Both the UK Government and the EU were represented by counsel and officials. After deliberation, members of the compliance committee recalled parties and set a number of questions to be answered by early February, after which they will expect to see additional submissions before they come to a conclusion in the summer.
Three members of Communities Against Turbines Scotland (Cats) attended the hearing. Susan Crosthwaite, of Cats, said: “People throughout Europe, fighting the unremitting development of wind turbines, owe Christine Metcalfe and the Avich and Kilchrenan Community Council a debt of gratitude for having the courage to pursue this matter to the United Nations Court.”
