This book is a short practical guide to environmental enforcement law.
It is intended to be a helpful resource for established practitioners as
well as an introduction to those new to the subject and a useful tool
for those advising both organisations and individuals on environmental
enforcement as well as those tasked with the duties of environmental
regulation.
The subjects covered include waste and water offences, investigatory
powers, enforcement notices, criminal proceedings and sentencing and
civil sanctions. The book also provides a summary of corporate and
individual liability for environmental offences. Key provisions of
relevant environmental legislation are highlighted, together with
selected quotes from key authorities on the application of the law in
practice. Further commentary provides expert analysis on the
interpretation and implementation of environmental law.
