Campaigners want to stop development of Rosebank oil field and Jackdaw gas field.

Greenpeace and Uplift accuse regulators of "failing to be transparent" in granting consents.

UK government said in August it would not fight any cases over Rosebank and JackDaw .

Shell and Equinor say the projects are vital for UK energy security and jobs.

However, First Minister John Swinney said in June that it would still be needed "for a period of time" to help the country meet its net-zero targets by 2045 . Both governments said it would not be appropriate to comment on live legal proceedings. The NSTA also declined to comment on a live case. On Monday evening , the comedian Frankie Boyle was due to moderate a public meeting of about 150 climate campaigners in Edinburgh after lending his support to the Stop Rosebank campaign..
