Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Environmental Courts and Tribunals: Powers Integrity and the Search for Legitimacy by Professor Ceri Warnock
The global phenomenon of the establishment of specialist courts is one of the most important recent developments in environmental law. Although they are generally seen as a much needed innovation they do pose challenges particularly around questions of legitimacy. This book tackles these questions looking at the courts in the common law world. It argues that to fully understand the nature of the adjudication of these courts a bottom-up approach must be taken: ie the question before the court is determinative. Despite its theoretical focus the book also provides insights to practitioners engaging with these courts for the first time.
