36/ we have just vacated the room to let the three judges begin their deliberations... let me summarize below some of what we have learned today in this Cantonal Parliament of Zug in this historic hearing in #ClimateLitigation 𝐴𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑎 𝑣. 𝐻𝑜𝑙𝑐𝑖𝑚...

Still astonished by the level of cynism companies&their lawyers are able to display in courtrooms when it comes to their liability.

#Holcim lawyers just "offered" money pieces to the claimants, two Pari islanders who came all the way to Switzerland to make their claim for #climatejustice heard.
27/ The pace of the defence's arguments increases...
Holcim's representatives now turn to caricaturing and mockery to suggest that the claims hold no legal and real-world value and are not about supporting the plaintiffs...
Buckle up...

📢Court action📢

Back in 2022, we joined partners in taking legal action against the French energy company, over ads that we think are misleading, greenwashing and breach consumer law. And today, the case’s hearing finally takes place.
