Public Participation in Environmental Decision-Making in Alberta – Part IV (Webinar)

12 Feb Public Participation in Environmental Decision-Making in Alberta – Part IV (Webinar)

Public Participation in Environmental Decision-Making in Alberta –
Part IV (Webinar)

Court: the last resort. You opposed Alberta Environment’s decision to approve or refuse a regulated activity. Maybe there was no environmental impact assessment. Maybe an appeal to the Environmental Appeals Board was unsuccessful.

Join Adam Driedzic, Staff Counsel with the Environmental Law Centre, to consider judicial review of administrative decision-making. We will cover the key questions for potential litigants, including:

• How is reviewing procedural fairness different from appealing the result?
• What remedies can the court award, and what are the risks?
• Who may have standing in the courts, and when should they start proceedings?

This is the fourth and final webinar on the ELC’s Guide to Public Participation in Environmental Decision Making in Alberta. No familiarity with the guide is required, but you can click here to read or download it.

Where: Online
When: February 25, 2010 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
This event is free and open to the public.
