DLA Piper's legal costs for public bodies far exceed those of in-house solicitors, raising concerns that the financial burden may discourage climate activism.
Costs for climate protesters have become exorbitant; one woman estimated it would take her eight years to repay the £5,000 she owes from a legal battle.
Protesters targeted by courts face not only legal injunctions but also substantial financial liabilities, as seen in the case of Louise Lancaster, who owes £22,000.
Since hiring DLA Piper, NHL and HS2 have pursued over 200 activists, highlighting the aggressive legal strategies employed to suppress public dissent on climate issues.
