Oil Company's Restraining Order Bars Anti-Fracking Protestor From GroceryStore, Friends' Houses (Click here to read more)

.
In October of 2013, Cabot Oil & Gas secured a court order that effectively banned an anti-fracking activist from entering any land owned or leased by the company. But because of the broad scope of the court order, that activist is now claiming she legally can't go to the grocery store, the hospital, restaurants, and even her friends' homes.
.
"It's tough to try to figure out, where can I stand? Where can I walk?" Vera Scroggins told the Associated Press on Tuesday. "It's not a pleasant thing to endure."
.
Cabot, one of the biggest names in Pennsylvania's natural gas rush, had sought a preliminary injunction against Scroggins in October after alleging that she had repeatedly trespassed onto several of the company's leased and owned properties, giving unauthorized tours of their operations. After hearing testimony from employees and security personnel, Susquehanna County Judge Kenneth Seamans granted Cabot's request to have Scroggins legally barred from not only the land Cabot owns, but from all the land it holds mineral leases on.
.
The problem with that, according to Scroggins' attorneys, is that nearly 40 percent of Susquehanna County land is owned or leased by Cabot. This includes the grocery store, the local recycling center, the hospital that is nearest to her home, and several of her friends' houses.
.
"In short, the right to extract gas is, according to the company, also the right to banish," Scroggins' attorneys said in a motion asking Susquehanna County Judge Kenneth Seamans to undo his October order.
