The Court of Appeal today (Wednesday 25 January 2012) unanimously rejected Government attempts to overturn last month's High Court ruling that its plans to rush through sudden cuts to solar tariff payments are illegal.

This is great news and hopefully the government will now get on with the job of creating certainty and stability in the renewable energy market, rather than carrying on with its attempts to appeal.
