An association of senior Swiss women has taken the Swiss government to court over inaction on climate change. It's the first time the European Court of Human Rights has heard a climate case, and it will be handing down its landmark ruling on April 9. It joins a growing number of cases challenging government climate change inaction worldwide, including in Australia.
In a recent Australian court ruling, former Indian High Commissioner Navdeep Singh Suri was ordered to pay more than $136,000 in compensation to his former domestic employee over unfair working conditions and exploitation. On Thursday, the Indian government rejected the jurisdiction of the court in the matter.
