Description:This book provides a detailed study of the role of adjudication in environmental law. It examines theoretical issues concerning the role of judges and other adjudicators, taking account of different legal cultures and contexts, exploring the multifaceted pressures which rest on the shoulders of adjudicators when navigating the tensions between maintaining neutrality, resolving disputes, and providing guidance and assistance for future courts, policy-makers and decision-makers. In addition, it identifies the main adjudicatory ‘avenues’ which exist in the context of the environmental law of England and Wales and explores the relationship between adjudication and coherence before concluding with an exploration of what constitutes ‘good’ environmental adjudication.
