E-Learning and Webinars

In July 2021, Biffa Waste Services Ltd was  fined £1.5 million for breaking export law, in what the judge called “reckless, bordering on deliberate.” Biffa’s latest breaches of export law uncovered by the Environment Agency involved rolling contracts to send vast amounts of waste to India and Indonesia.  We will hear from Howard McCann, the barrister who handled the case, about this successful prosecution and the international cooperation that made it possible.

Gain insights on the best practices in teaching environmental law in international setting. Participants will discuss the essential elements of the syllabus, content and pedagogy in a syllabus for environmental law, practice in identifying and incorporating essential elements of content and pedagogy into existing syllabi and encourage group discussion to promote common sense of essential elements.
