Soil contamination

We advise on all legal implications of soil and groundwater contamination—be it recent cases governed by i.a. the Soil Contamination Act or older cases governed by i.a. the Environmental Protection Act. 

Our advice 

We advise on issues such as:  

• the Soil Contamination Act and the scope of its provisions on the issuing of orders
• the interaction between the rules of the Environmental Protection Act and the general law of damages, including:
  • the system of mapping of contaminated areas
  • section 8 permits
  • regulatory orders to undertake investigations or take preventive measures in relation to soil or groundwater contamination
  • polluter’s liability under public law and/or tort law rules.
