environmental litigation  

Définition(s)

  • Environmental litigation—the filing of lawsuits to protect the environment or to prevent or remove pollution, or countersuits to defend against environmental legal actions—has grown enormously in the United States since the 1970s. The legal basis for these suits has been a complex, growing web of federal and state statutes, which have also created environmental regulatory agencies to develop policy rules and regulations for implementing environmental public policy.
