Synopsis

This authoritative practitioner work provides an invaluable new account of environmental law, regulation and enforcement in the UK. It brings within one volume all the fast-evolving law in the field, presented and indexed in a way which enables even those not specializing in the area easily to find out what they need to know. It deals, for example, with the law on pollution of all kinds, the control and management of waste and hazardous substances, including, topically, genetically modified organisms, and the relationship between environmental law and planning controls. Additionally, there are sections on European environmental law, and court, tribunal, and inquiry procedures. The general editors and other contributors are all practising barristers who specialize in environmental and planning law. This qualifies them to give authoritative guidance on this complex and increasingly important area. While offering valuable insights for the specialist, the book will be of particular use to lawyers and others whose work is either general or lies mainly in other areas, but who are confronted from time to time by problems of environmental law.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This almanac provides an overview of environmental law presented in an accessible fashion for those who may be encountering this complex area of law for the first time. Through this book, the reader will gain an understanding of the major environmental regulatory statutes, including those addressing air and water quality, hazardous materials and wastes, pesticides and other toxic substances, wetlands preservation, and endangered species. The reader will also be introduced to the agencies responsible for implementing and enforcing these statutes. This book also covers the common law principles which are of continuing importance in environmental law and from which modern environmental law directly descends. The reader will further gain an understanding of environmental restrictions on private property development, the increasingly important issue of global climate change, and the ability of the public to obtain access to environmental information through community right to know laws and other environmental statutes. This publication is also an invaluable reference guide for anyone already familiar with environmental law who is seeking access to the most recent information in the field.
