• Date: Tuesday 24 February
• Time: 11:00–12:30

Event summary

How can you use complaints, appeals processes and the courts to protect the environment?

Public law provides various ways to challenge or influence Government decision making, from local authority planning decisions, to complaints to environmental regulators, and full blown court cases through judicial review challenging Government policy implementation. This is a beginners’ guide to these processes, and how they can work as parts of a campaign.
