Free CEJ Webinar - The Cost of Environmental Justice
Free CEJ Webinar - The Cost of Environmental Justice
In May, the Government introduced regulations that set a scale of fees for environmental judicial reviews. This is a cap on recoverable legal costs in successful environmental cases which may leave applicants with a huge balance to pay despite being vindicated by the court. These regulations have significant implications for the determination of who can access the courts to protect the environment and their environmental rights. According to the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, 98% of the more than 1,400 consultation responses did not support the introduction of the scale of fees because of its potential detrimental impact on fundamental legal safeguards. Join us for a webinar at 12pm on Thursday 25th June where experts will discuss the scale of fees and its implications for access to justice.

Living in a healthy local environment is vital for our wellbeing. A healthy environment means having clean air, safe water and adequate sanitation, a litter and waste-free environment, a safe climate, a peaceful neighbourhood free of excessive noise, safe places to work, study and play, and healthy biodiversity and ecosystems.
