| MACRORY, R |  Consistency and Effectiveness – Strengthening the New Environment TribunalConsistency And Effectivenessexamined over fifty examples of appeals provisions in contemporary British environmental legislation, and found a complete lack of coherence – appeals concerning licences or the service of enforcement notices went to a wide range of different bodies including magistrates courts, the planning inspectorate, and the Secretary of State. Often there was no right of appeal.Professor Macrory argues that it would be far more effective if most of these appeals went to the new Environment Tribunal set up in 2010 to determine appeals against a civil penalties now available to environmental regulators. The report identifies a set of priorities for transfer.The proposals are entirely consistent with the current regulatory reform agenda. Professor Macrory noted, “Over the years we have developed a system of environmental appeals which is complex and confusing. There is now a unique opportunity to make the current structure more coherent, simple, and effective.”Download full report |

| PURDY, R |  Satelite Monitoring of Environmental Laws: lessons to be learned from Australia
The study, ‘Smart Enforcement in Environmental Legal Systems: A Socio-Legal Analysis of Regulatory Satellite Monitoring in Australia,’ was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (UK), during 2009 and 2010. This report is a direct output of this study and examines whether modern satellite technologies could provide a rigorous, legally reliable, and cost effective tool in inspection and compliance regimes in environmental regulatory systems. It considers these issues in the context of relevant experience and expertise in Australia, which is the only sustained comparative example where satellites have been used to monitor an environmental law. Satellite monitoring is used to monitor compliance with vegetation clearing legislation in Australia. This report seeks to demonstrate lessons learnt from this cutting-edge practice in Australia and to identify how best to build on this experience if satellite monitoring is to be used in new regulatory strategies.

The Working Group was established at the end of 2007 under the chairmanship of Mr Justice Sullivan. Richard Macrory was the sole academic member of the group and the principal drafter of its final report, Ensuring Access to Environmental Justice in England and Wales which was published in May 2008. The focus of the report was on current judicial review procedures in this country, and the extent to which they satisfy the requirements of the Aarhus Convention concerning access to justice in environmental matters. The Convention came into force in 2001, and was ratified by the UK in 2005. Under the Convention members of the public and non-governmental organisations are entitled to access to the courts or other independent bodies to question the legality of a large range of licencing decisions as well as the right to challenge acts or omissions of public bodies contravening national laws relating to the environment. Art 9(4) provides that any such procedures must be “fair, equitable, timely and not prohibitively expensive.” For claimants in judicial review not entitled to legal aid (the vast majority of the members of the public) the Group doubted whether the current practices concerning costs and potential exposure to costs in environmental judicial review cases could be said to be consistent with Aarhus. The Report makes a series of recommendations designed to reduce the risks and uncertainties concerning exposure to costs, as well as improvement the case management of judicial review cases. |
