Thomas Coughlan: NZ Herald political editor on Lawyers for Climate Action taking the Government's climate policies to court - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A group of lawyers are taking the Government's climate policies to court.

Lawyers for Climate Action have filed a judicial review, calling for a probe of the coalition cancelling the previous Government's projects - under the emissions reduction plan.

They claim the plan fails to uphold the Climate Change Response Act.

NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan explains why this is taking place - and what could come of it.
