In 2018 Milieudefensie decided to sue Shell. Here is the timeline of our climate case.
Milieudefensie sends a letter to Shell, asking them to stop causing climate change.
10,000 people in the Netherlands become co-plaintiffs.
Shell states in a letter that it will not respond to the demands that Milieudefensie has made. Shell doesn't find the demands justified.
On February 12, a new letter was sent to Shell. This second letter contained the message that the organisations ActionAid, BothEnds, Fossielvrij NL, Jongeren Milieu Actief, the Waddenvereniging and Greenpeace have joined the trial.
Deadline for joining our lawsuit. On the 25th of March, the counter is up to 17,000 co-plaintiffs.
On this date, the summons were handed over to Shell in The Hague, on behalf of 17,379 co-plaintiffs and 6 organizations.
Shell has been summoned to report to the court on April 17. Shell has 3 months to respond to the contents of the summons.
