The landmark case was brought by eight young people, who, due to their age, were represented by Sister Marie Brigid Arthur. They sought the duty of care declaration, as well as an injunction against the planned extension of the Vickery coal mine, that operates close to Gunnedah in northern New South Wales. In terms of the injunction on the 2016 proposal  which has been approved by the NSW Department of Planning  Bromberg decided against it, leaving it up to federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley to exercise her newfound duty of care in relation to the coal mine extension decision. The Federal Court ruling is significant as it deems the minister negligent if they do not uphold the duty of care to children in relation to fossil fuel projects. Further, it recognised the validity of climate scientists’ warnings about the risks global warming poses to the planet.
