2013: Environmental Prosecutions

Environment in the Courtroom (II): Environmental Prosecutions | L’environnement au tribunal (II) : poursuites relatives à l’environnement

This is the second in a series of annual Symposia/Webinars conducted for judges and court practitioners under funding from Environment Canada and directed at exploring the practical challenges associated with the prosecution of environmental offences. The symposium examined the major issues that arise in the course of environmental prosecutions, beginning with the decision to prosecute and proceeding sequentially through key decision points, ending with available defences.
