Liabilities In English Law Arising From Infiltration Of Stormwater.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference proceeding › peer-review

Abstract

This paper will highlight the potential effects of recent modifications to the
Environmental Protection Act 1990 to liabilities for infiltrated stormwater in the
UK. The changes could severely affect statutory liability for the clean up costs of
land contamination which might arise as a result of contaminants being transported
to adjacent land by a badly planned or executed stormwater infiltration scheme.
Particular attention is paid to the uncertainties in the way in which this modified
legislation will be applied by regulators and interpreted by the courts and how
liability under this statute compares with civil liability.
