Welsh Government will pursue M4 legal costs

A British High Court judge rejected a Friends of the Earth Cymru (NGO) challenge against the construction of the black route for the M4 relief road. The Welsh Government demands œ10,000 from the environmental charity for the actual legal costs. The Aarhus Convention means that in proceedings of this nature, the defendant?s rights to recover its legal costs from the claimant is limited to a maximum of œ10,000.
