C12 : Public Interest Litigation
Do anti- SLAPP laws protect environmental activists? Do costs orders enhance or restrict access to justice? This session will examine the use of public interest litigation to protect the environment, and how to practise for the benefit of individual clients in an area dominated by deep-pocket defendants.
