CMS Annual Review of developments in English oil and gas law 2024

This year’s edition of the Oil and Gas Annual Review covers judgments/arbitral awards which will have both direct and indirect impacts on oil and gas practitioners. Significantly, most cases continue to arise as a result of the energy trilemma, requiring the need to strike a balance between energy security, affordability and sustainability. 

The 2024 Annual Review deals with recent case law relevant to oil, gas and commodity sales, energy taxation, M&A, shipping, production sharing contracts, protestor action, impact of climate change laws on obtaining government consent, and more issues that impact the day-to-day workings of the oil and gas industry.

This year’s edition looks at decisions taken by a range of bodies which are likely to have a significant impact on the industry, including a United Kingdom Supreme Court decision on licencing consent in the context of climate change and a decision of the European Court of Human Rights that interprets Article 8 as encompassing a right for individuals to effective protection by the State authorities from serious adverse effects of climate change on their life, health, well-being and quality of life.
