Acting Chief Justice, Roxane George SC has ruled in favour of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); against which an action was filed to put a stop to flaring of gas offshore by ExxonMobil.
Among other things, the Chief Judge said “there is no evidence that the modified environmental permit (EP) will cause additional adverse effects…”
The Court found that the EPA did not breach the law as was being alleged.
The case surrounded an application for judicial review filed by three Guyanese women— Sinikka Henry, Sherlina Nageer and Andriska Thorington—for the Agency to cease gas flaring.
