Court battle as fishermen find legal letters from wind farm firm tied to their boats

A High Court case pits Norfolk fishermen against Equinor as the energy giant seeks an injunction to keep them out of a coastal area for a four-week seabed survey ahead of extending its wind farms. The North Norfolk Fishermen's Society, led by eighth-generation fisherman John Davies, found zip-tied legal notices on their boats. The initial hearing was adjourned while the court requests more information about the society and the claim, with another hearing scheduled. Equinor argues the survey is essential to check for unexploded ordnance, and to avoid gear entanglement as the project proceeds; Davies warns the move threatens livelihoods.
