## Resource

The “Finch ruling” case started small – with £20 donations from people that cared – but the eventual wins were big. What’s less well known, is the legal rollercoaster Sarah Finch and the Weald Action Group faced. After a failed High Court case and a failed Court of Appeal case, Sarah faced a major crossroads: keep going or call it a day? Sarah joins Climate Curious’s Ben Hurst to share why she took the risky last ditch attempt to gain justice for Horse Hill in Surrey, and describes what it felt like to stand in the Supreme Court, not knowing if years of effort were about to unravel.
