CPL Seminar: 'The Role of the Judiciary in Environmental Decision-Making'

Speaker: Emma Lees
Location: Moot Court Room, Faculty of Law

Examination of the judicial approach to questions of interpretation in environmental regulation reveals the complexity of judicial review in a context of scientific uncertainty. In particular, the distinction between questions of fact and law influences the balance of power between regulator and courts. This presentation will argue that it appears that the judiciary has abandoned responsibility relating to interpretation of environmental law, and this poses significant problems for the operation of judicial review.

Faculty Members and Visitors, PhD students and LLM Public Law students are welcome.
