Thames Water seeks High Court approval for rescue plan
Monday, 3 February 2025 Thames Water will seek High Court approval for a £3bn rescue plan in a four-day hearing beginning at the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday.
"Livid" activists have responded to a court ruling which will see Thames Water given a £3bn rescue loan. Liberal Democrat MP, Charlie Maynard, who brought a public interest claim into court, said he would seek to appeal the decision which he said was "not in the public interest".

Just Stop Oil campaigners protest outside the Court of Appeal at the Royal Courts of Justice, where sixteen climate activists are challenging their sentences. The protesters received prison sentences of between five years and 15 months in July and August last year for their roles in four demonstrations held by Just Stop Oil between August and November 2022, including climbing on gantries over the M25 and throwing soup over Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers.
