  • Environmental Law - 3. Private Law
    Environmental Law, 2019
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Fisher, Bettina Lange, Eloise Scotford
    Abstract:

    This chapter provides an overview of different areas of private Law and their relationship to Environmental Law including property Law, tort Law, contract Law, and private Law. The chapter begins by showing how the role of private Law in addressing Environmental problems is due to Environmental Law being applied Law. Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 give an overview of property Law, tort Law, contract Law, and company Law and their relationship to Environmental Law. This analysis shows that private Law has a role in framing our understanding of Environmental Law and Environmental problems, while Environmental Law and Environmental problems also shape understandings of private Law, and of property Law in particular. The final section concludes by discussing the multi-dimensional nature of the interrelationship between private Law, Environmental problems, and Environmental Law in more detail.

  • Environmental Law - 12. International Environmental Law
    Environmental Law, 2019
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Fisher, Bettina Lange, Eloise Scotford
    Abstract:

    While not the focus of this textbook, understanding the role and nature of international Environmental Law is important in understanding UK Environmental Law. This is because, international Law has played a vital role in creating frameworks for Environmental protection and for catalysing developments in national Environmental Law. This chapter provides an overview of international Environmental Law. It begins with a brief examination of the concept of international Environmental Law, the different ways it can be defined, its history, and the emergence of hybrids of it. In the second section a number of key ideas in public international Law that are relevant to international Environmental Law are explored including the sources of international Law, state sovreignity, fragmentation, and international Law theory. The analysis then moves on to the institutional landscape of international Environmental Law, its legal nature and finally the nuanced relationship between international Environmental Law and national and EU Law.

  • Environmental Law: Text, Cases & Materials - 1. What is Environmental Law
    Environmental Law, 2019
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Fisher, Bettina Lange, Eloise Scotford
    Abstract:

    This chapter provides an introductory overview to Environmental Law including the way the subject is defined and the challenges involved in studying it. As with other chapters in this book, this introductory chapter provides an advanced introduction to Environmental Law containing carefully selected abstracts from cases, legislation, and academic debate. The chapter begins with an overview of the Environmental Law landscape in the UK and moves on to describe three different ways to define Environmental Law—descriptively, purposively, and jurisprudential—and why these different definitions matter. The challenges of practising and studying Environmental Law are explored and in the last section a framework is provided for structuring Environmental Law inquiry. Overall, the chapter provides a launching off point for the study of Environmental Law as well as a reference point for those who are studying the subject.

  • 11. European Union Environmental Law
    Environmental Law, 2019
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Fisher, Bettina Lange, Eloise Scotford
    Abstract:

    Much of the substance of UK Environmental Law has been derived from EU Environmental Law. This chapter is an introduction to some of the major themes in EU Environmental Law. The first section outlines aspects of EU legal culture and considers different approaches to defining EU Environmental Law. The following sections examine four major themes of EU Environmental Law. The first theme is competence, which concerns the nature of the EU’s authority to act in relation to Environmental matters. The second theme is implementation and enforcement. The third theme is the ability of Member States to take unilateral Environmental protection action. Finally, the last theme is the legitimacy and accountability of EU governance.

  • Environmental Law: A Very Short Introduction
    Very Short Introductions, 2017
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Fisher
    Abstract:

    Environmental Law is the Law concerned with Environmental problems. It is a vast area of Law that operates from the local to the global, involving a range of different legal and regulatory techniques. In theory, Environmental protection is obvious and ethically desirable. Yet, in practice, Environmental Law is a messy and complex business fraught with conflict. Environmental Law: A Very Short Introduction discusses the nature and practice of Environmental Law, and explores the role of Lawmakers, courts, and regulators. It analyses why Environmental Law is both a fundamental and controversial area of Law, dealing with multiple interests, socio-political conflicts, and the limits of knowledge about the environment, using examples from across the globe.
