Enforcing Environmental Law: A Guide to Private Prosecution, Second Edition

12/1/2004

Canadian law allows any individual to lay charges against a polluter or other environmental offender where there is evidence of an offence. Enforcing Environmental Law: A Guide to Private Prosecution, 2nd edition will help readers determine when private prosecution is the right tool to address environmental harm, and provides a step-by-step guide to the process, from laying charges through trial and appeal. In some cases alternative tools are more effective, and these are explained. The book also provides guidance on building a case and finding assistance, and includes a proposal for law and policy reform. View
