Horse Hill Update
UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) announces that further to the Company's September 16th, 2022, RNS and the Court of Appeal's February 2022 dismissal of Finch et al's challenge to the legality of Horse Hill's planning consent, the Company's, Secretary of State's and Surrey County Council's counsels will today defend a Supreme Court hearing to finally conclude this long-standing legal action. A final judgement will likely be handed down in late Summer/early Autumn once Lady Justice Rose and Lord Justices Kitchin, Leggatt, Richards and Sales have considered the case.
As five judges and the Court of Appeal have previously dismissed Finch et al's case, the Company and its legal counsel remain convinced that planning consent was granted entirely lawfully, and will, therefore, strongly contest this final action against its interests.
Planning consent remains in force and lawful production continues at the Horse Hill site in which the Company holds an 85.635% interest.
