This guide is the product of a series of discussions with people who are passionate about environmental protection and sustainable development and are keen to use their rights under the law to see their environment appropriately cared for.
One of the most powerful ways in which these rights can be vindicated and environmental protections enforced is through applications for judicial review at the High Court in Northern Ireland. The court reviews decisions against legal standards and looks at whether decisions by public bodies or officials were lawful.
