In the letter dated 09 August 2016 sent to the legal representatives of the petitioners, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) explained that it is the liquidator of UK Coal Production Limited and claimed that the Petition does not refer to UK Coal Production Limited and was addressed to UK Coal, which is currently not a legal entity. Hence, PwC requested confirmation of who is the relevant party to receive the documents.29 2.18. The petitioners identified the respondents, the investor-owned Carbon Majors, as corporate groups that are significant contributors to climate change, as recognized by peer-reviewed research conducted by Mr. Richard Heede.30 The Petition and the annexes refer to the name of the parent entity or entities of the Carbon Majors because, in general, the accounts of a corporate group are consolidated under the name of the parent entity or entities, “in accordance with the rules of the jurisdiction in which the parent is incorporated or listed for trading on a stock exchange.”31 Many of the respondents are integrated energy companies, such as Chevron Corporation,32 and this is reflected by the Carbon Majors research, which primarily collected company production data from publicly available sources, such as annual reports in the collections of public and academic libraries, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, compilations in published literature, and company histories.33 28 See Chevron’s letter dated 02 September 2016.
