Environmental Law Before the Courts
This book sheds light on the latest trends in environmental law by analyzing some of the main sectors of law, including administrative law, constitutional law, EU law, US Law, and human rights law. It explores the evolution of these sectors before courts and tribunals from a US-EU perspective and from the perspectives of some of the foremost academics and justices from the major jurisdictions. Supranational and national courts, both in Europe and in the US, have delivered significant environmental judgements in recent years. The corresponding case law reflects how, in many jurisdictions, environmental and climate litigation continues to expand exponentially as a tool to strengthen environmental protection, whether by pushing national governments to be more ambitious or by enforcing existing statutes and regulations. Courts, particularly after the Paris Agreement, are increasingly seeking their own role as an important player in multilevel environmental governance. Courts in both the US and EU are at the forefront of this process and their role in shaping environmental rule of law will be fundamental in the near future.
Managing Facts and Feelings in Environmental Governance
This timely book brings to the foreground the considerable tensions between the need to engage the public in the importance of environmental governance and the need of professional expertise to address the issues which arise. In doing so, it highlights that not only can public opinion deviate from scientific knowledge, but scientific knowledge itself can be lacunose or contradicting. Drawing together insights from some of the leading scholars, this engaging work will provide guidance to decision makers, including judges, on how to govern public participation procedures and professional expertise and the role that the precautionary principle can play in this regard.
Liber amicorum Hubert Bocken
Na een indrukwekkende academische carrière wordt prof. Hubert Bocken op 1 oktober 2009 tot het emeritaat toegelaten. Hij was een van de eersten in België om onderzoek te verrichten over het milieurecht en het milieuaansprakelijkheidsrecht. De laatste jaren lag de nadruk op het buitencontractuele aansprakelijkheidsrecht en schadevergoeding buiten het aansprakelijkheidsrecht. Hij was promotor van projecten gefinancierd door o.a. Europese Unie, secretariaat van de Basel Conventie, Vlaamse Gemeenschap en OVAM. Hij organiseerde congressen inzake burgerlijk recht, milieurecht, rechtsonderwijs en adviseerde bij wetgeving op het gebied van overheidsaansprakelijkheid en van het milieurecht. Hij was oprichter en voorzitter van de Belgische Vereniging voor Milieurecht en voorzitter van de Interuniversitaire Commissie tot Herziening van het Milieurecht in het Vlaams Gewest. Met publicaties over verbintenissen- en aansprakelijkheidsrecht, milieurecht en rechtsvergelijking, heeft hij zijn stempel gedrukt op de rechtsontwikkeling in deze domeinen.

Public law, which examines relations between governments and institutions and individuals, has, in recent years, become deeply disturbed by an erosion of the rule of law, notably in some of the world’s most professedly democratic nations.

The book is dedicated to Professor Patrick Birkinshaw, who until his re...
