A reasonably priced source of environmental information

BRAND NEW EDITION JUST PUBLISHED 

The current revolution in Environmental Law and Practice entails new legislation in such areas as chemicals (REACH, Dangerous Substances and Preparations Regulations 2006), waste (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 (WEEE), Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 (PRO) and Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007), air (Air Quality Standards Regulations 2007 (AQ)) and noise (Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006). This revolution also entails stricter enforcement, greater fines and an ever expanding ambit of environmental law. Since over 80% of UK environmental law derives from the EU, there is also the burgeoning impact of EU legislation. Research has shown that information on environmental law and practice provides either too much or too little information. All of this necessitates a new approach - and a new handbook - “Environment Brief”. Written by a Solicitor with extensive experience of environmental law and practice in a major British plc, “Environment Brief” comprises over 1100 A5 pages in two loose-leaf Volumes and is contained in two smart, foam padded, leather-look Binders. Designed as either a stand-alone text or a companion text to “Health & Safety at Work Brief”, “Environment Brief” features both cross-referencing within its text and to the text of “Health & Safety at Work Brief”. The text is completely up to date, including the legislation cited above . Volume 1 of “Environment Brief” is comprised of an independent commentary of some 550 pages. It constitutes one stop treatment of environmental matters. Volume 2 is comprised of some 560 pages reproducing verbatim the consolidated legislative texts of Key Acts, Regulations, etc. The text states the law in England. It also states the law in general in Scotland and Wales.
