Sixteen British climate activists jailed for their high-profile protests will find out if they have won an appeal against their heavy sentences.
Lawyer Danny Friedman told London's Court of Appeal in January that the prison terms of between 15 months to five years for separate protests were "the highest of their kind in modern British history".
The activists "did what they did out of sacrifice" and were acting in the "best interests of the public, the planet, and future generations," he said, asking for the jail terms to be reduced.
Prosecutors argued the sentences had been merited as "all of these applicants went so far beyond what was reasonable".
Their actions also presented an "extreme danger" to the public and themselves, they said.
Lady Chief Justice Sue Carr was supposed to hand down the ruling at the Court of Appeal in London recently, in a case that could have far-reaching implications for future protests.
The hearing is being closely watched amid fears that peaceful protest risks being stifled in Britain.
Activist groups Just Stop Oil (JSO) and Extinction Rebellion have launched high-profile protests in recent years to fight the use of fossil fuels, which scientists say are causing global warming and climate change.
