Environmental pollution affects individuals and communities in ways that are detrimental to health and income. British companies do not always observe the highest environmental standards expected of them when they operate outside the UK, therefore those who fail to use their powers to protect the environment need to be challenged.
Our seminar brought together academics, legal practitioners and environmental organisations to discuss international environmental tort claims and issues from a variety of perspectives. >
Speakers included Pamela Castle OBE, Chairman of the Environmental Law Foundation, Martyn Day, Senior Partner, Leigh Day & Co Solicitors, Richard Hermer, Barrister, Doughty Street Chambers and Niall Watson, Chair of CORE Coalition.
