Empirical Findings and Legal Appraisal
This book, the sixth in the series, is based on the findings of a research study on Access to Justice in Environmental Matters that the European Commission commissioned in 2002 in order to provide input on the preparation of a proposal for a Directive on access to justice. In particular, the book assesses recent developments and the current situation concerning NGO access to justice in environmental matters in certain member states, and in particular to obtain empirical data on the number of cases brought by environmental associations.
