Production has been allowed to continue while the case continues, Reuters said.Norwegian legal affairs website Rett 24 said the case centers around whether the granting of permits should take into account the impact of the burning of the fossil fuels on the climate, regardless of where this takes place.The supreme court case is expected to last about four days with a verdict to be announced later in the year.has contacted Norway's energy ministry to seek comment and further details on the case.
