Milieudefensie and Shell will be back in court from 2 April onwards to argue the landmark case on appeal. In the first instance, Milieudefensie won against Shell before the District Court of The Hague (District Court), resulting in the latter appealing the ruling. Milieudefensie v. Shell was the first major climate litigation case whereby claimants demanded policy changes from a polluter.
