You somewhat sensationalise it.......... any organisation is responsible

for the actions of their contractors - the EA lapsed in this

responsibility. If the contractor had fallen off a ladder and killed

himself then the EA would again have been in the dock..........

Subject: [LF] NTC Europen based Environmental agency taken to court over

environmental damage - and lost the case......



Speaking of the environment, I believe a precedent was set today in

England,

but I am sure this will not be the last case ...







I believe that this court settlement sets a European precedent for an

environmental agency being taken to court over environmental

damage.....and

losing the case

"Judge Jeremy Griggs said: "It is surprising to find the Environment

Agency

as a defendant in the dock."



Just an FYI - thought I would share it.it is definitely food for

thought.
