The law relating to all aspects of the environment is changing rapidly; major new statutes in environmental law - the Water Act 1989 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 - have introduced new concepts of responsibility and control which have important implications for industry and business as well as for lawyers active in this area. "Environmental Law" has been specifically designed to provide the reader with all the information needed to deal with questions and problems that will undoubtedly arise. Written in a simple style and avoiding too much legal "jargon" it offers a thorough overview of this increasingly important subject. The author emphasizes throughout the implications for the practitioner of European Community environmental policy and law.
