On Friday, April 5, at 10AM the Saskatchewan Climate Litigation Action will be in court in Regina arguing the Saskatchewan Environmental Society’s (SES) application to intervene at a special chambers hearing at the Court of King’s Bench. A copy of the SES intervention application and supporting affidavit are linked on the website – this will be the subject of the hearing on April 5, 2024.
​
As chambers hearings are “open court” and this climate litigation is a matter of public interest – i.e. how our Charter rights are impacted by government action that exacerbates dangerous climate change, we invite people to attend the hearing. This hearing is only to address the preliminary matter of whether the SES should be granted status as an intervenor, but we anticipate hearing oral arguments from SES, from the government lawyers, from the SaskPower and CIC lawyers, and from the legal team for the main applicants on the Originating Application (7 individuals and Climate Justice Saskatoon).
