: A high court has dismissed an urgent application to block Shell from proceeding with a seismic survey off the Eastern Cape coast.

Acting judge Avinash Govindjee said that he was not convinced that there is cause to fear "irreparable harm" if an urgent interdict was not granted.

Meanwhile communities on the Wild Coast have also filed an urgent application to block the seismic survey.

We now speak to Cormack Cullinan, one of the lawyers for parties against the conducting of the seismic surveys.
