Environmental Law, 3rd Revised edition | 1995 (Good Condition)

Description

Environmental law is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing of all areas of law. It is also one of the fastest changing. This book, with its clear and up-to-date description of the law, will therefore prove invaluable to students, practitioners and others concerned with the protection of the environment.

The authors emphasise how the law works in practice, placing it in its practical context and describing the various remedies which are available. They emphasise the fundamental importance of environmental policy and the exercise of discretion.

The book is divided into two parts. The first looks at the general principles of environmental law. It explains the approach towards environmental regulation which is taken in Britain, and examines the central role of the EC in environmental policy and law. The second part deals with the law relating to specific environmental problems.

This third edition covers recent changes in the law and its contents are up-to-date to the end of July 1995. New material covered includes the Environment Act 1995, which provides for the establishment of the Environment Agency and for the new provisions on liability for contaminated land, the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994 and recent case law.
