Environmental group Earthlife Africa will go to court on Monday as part of the group's legal battle against power utility Eskom's proposed pebble bed modular reactor (PBMR), with the court case aimed at upholding South Africa's environmental rights, Earthlife said in a statement. The Legal Resources Centre will be representing Earthlife Africa in the case. The authorisation of Eskom's proposed PBMR will come under judicial scrutiny on November 29, 2004 and November 30, 2004 when a full bench of the Cape Town High Court considers whether the authorisation of the plant given on 25 June, 2003 was unlawful.
