UKELA Ep007 - Environmental Principles and Scientific Uncertainty Before National Courts - The Habitats Directive

In this UKELA Podcast, Richard Kimblin KC [https://www.no5.com/people/barristers/richard-kimblin-kc/planning-and-environment/] is joined by the three editors of an insightful and comprehensive book which explores the dynamics which are driving courts across Europe in nature conservation: Mariolina Eliantonio, Emma Lees and Tiina Paloniitty.  It looks critically at how decision makers and courts understand and analyse scientific information by reference to the Habitats and Bird Directives - the core of both domestic and EU nature conservation law.  What influences judges in these cases; how do national procedural norms affect the approach and outcome; does the stated approach always correlate well with the actual result; how does the precautionary principle manifest itself in real world outcomes which restrict and freeze development decisions; does this feed into constitutional tensions as between the role of the court and the executive in some instances? This is a text which will have an impact and will endure.
