Summary
Shell’s R1.1bn Wild Coast exploration plan dead after ConCourt ruling. The ruling overturns a 2024 Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) decision that had upheld the exploration right. The communities took that order to the Constitutional Court, which heard argument in September last year and found the renewal process does not allow for the kind of consultation the SCA had in mind.
Furthermore, "Consultation is not merely about the opportunity to express a view or influence an outcome," the court said. The Constitutional Court on Friday blocked offshore exploration led by Shell along the pristine Wild Coast, a setback for the oil major after years of legal challenges by local communities and environmentalists. The ruling is the latest outcome in a series of court cases that have dampened investor appetite and delayed exploration offshore South Africa.
