Download or read book Environmental Liability written by Patricia Thomas and published by Springer. This book was released on 1991-06-26 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is little dispute that over the last ten years far greater recognition has been accorded to global responsibility for the environment, and as a consequence a wider acceptance in the developed world of the US model of strict liability in respect of environmental harm. This volume presents the widespread and informed debate on the subject undertaken by the Environmental Law Committee of the IBA's Section on Business Law. The philosophical and economic concept of sustainable development is addressed, as is the response required from financial and political institutions. The role of international agencies is examined. Regional perspectives on such liability are given (Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Australasia) and insurance, indemnities, non-fault liability and environmental impact assessment are evaluated as means of securing responsibility. The effectiveness of enforcement -- an area of potentially far-reaching legislation across a range of jurisdictions -- is closely examined and clear developments and trends are identified. The implications of liability continue to involve corporate and banking lawyers and insurance litigators, surely placing upon the environmental lawyer an educative and pivotal place in the promotion of sustainable development and growth. The volume reproduces the edited and revised papers of the Committee's Seventh Residential Seminar, held in Montreux, June 1990, and faithfully reflects the wide range of expertise brought to bear on the subject.
Download or read book Liability and Environment written by Lucas Bergkamp and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liability and Environment analyzes the role of law, in particular civil liability, in controlling environmental pollution and risk. In modern environmental policy, liability has become a popular instrument. In this book, Prof. Bergkamp takes a fresh look at civil liability for environmental harm in an inter- and transnational context. Over the last decade, industry's liability exposure for environmental harm has expanded significantly. At the international, EC, and national level proposals for onerous strict environmental liability regimes are pending. The `polluter pays principle', which is an articulation of the `cost internalization' theory in the environmental area, is believed to justify such liability regimes. Applying an instrumental approach to legal instruments, Prof. Bergkamp aims to redefine the role of liability in the heavily regulated environmental area. He shows that liability for environmental harm is not justified by the polluter pays principle, is an uncertain and unreliable instrument for achieving prevention, results in an inefficient insurance scheme, and plays a dubious role in adjusting activity levels. Based on an analysis of the basic characteristics of alternative legal instruments, Prof. Bergkamp concludes that civil liability should play a more modest, limited role in an environmental law system dominated by public law. Where deterrence is not the objective, first party insurance, compensation funds, or other public law regimes should be preferred over liability rules. In addition to civil liability of private parties, Liability and Environment discusses State liability under international, EC, and national law. Under international law, breach of a primary obligation triggers a State's liability. Prof. Bergkamp argues that this rule should be applied also to liability of private parties. In the environmental area, a business' primary obligations are spelled out in detailed permit conditions, regulations, and statutes. According to Prof. Bergkamp, only if a primary obligation is breached, a private person should be liable for environmental harm. The system that Bergkamp advocates is an objective fault liability regime, in which public environmental law defines the standard of care for both government and industry. "In rebuilding our civil liability system, we should keep in mind that what is good for industry should be good for everyone (or it is not good for anyone), we should keep in mind that what is good for private parties should be good for the state (or it is not good for either). In rebuilding our civil liability system, the international law of State responsibility, which is unpolluted by risk spreading and activity level considerations, will guide us a long way." This book is aimed at advanced law students, academic scholars, and practitioners. In addition, it will be of interest to policy and legislative analysts, legislators, and government officials. Professor Bergkamp's book cannot be described as "solving" the problems of legal and regulatory control of environmental harm, whether within a nation or internationally. As suggested before, however, the very idea of a "solution" is illusory. All legal and regulatory regimes around the world are today and will remain for the future in a state of perpetually continuing development. The virtue of this fine book is that it moves the process of that development forward by a very substantial measure. from the Foreword by George L. Priest.
