Content
Litigation Aspects:
The course deals with the question of access to justice in environmental disputes with regard to the various relevant jurisdictions (Court of Justice of the European Union, Constitutional Court, judicial courts and tribunals and Council of State). This inventory of the seats of justice is subsequently viewed from the perspective of the requirements of international law and European Union law (Convention of Aarhus, directives 2010/75/EU and 2011/92/EU). Finally, particular attention is paid to injunctions.
Criminal Law:
The course begins by tackling general questions (directive 2008/99/EC), distribution of competences, proof, causes of irresponsibility, links with injunctions). Afterwards, it focuses on the means of sanctioning infringements and of restoration of the latter’s consequences with regard not only to urban and regional planning but also to environmental legislation.
