The fifth edition of this important text provides complete coverage of New Zealand's legislation and case law in the environmental and resource management law field. Environmental and resource management law is a major component of modern legal practice. A key factor in the development of the law was the introduction of two pieces of legislation - the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. Both Acts have been amended frequently since their enactment. New legislation and other central government initiatives continue to affect legal practice in the field, some examples of which include actions taken under the Climate Change Response Act 2002, the enactment of the Environmental Protection Authority Act 2011, the passing of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011, the Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) Act 2012 and the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014. The Courts, especially the Environment Court and High Court, have issued many decisions influencing the interpretation and application of our environmental laws in a significant manner. All of these changes, litigation, and trends have necessitated this comprehensive fifth edition. The authors introduce modern environmental law, its sources and institutions; before turning to focus on the Resource Management Act 1991 and other key pieces of environmental legislation. A wide range of substantive topics are addressed, including: land use and subdivision, the resource consent process and appeals; the coastal environment including the new EEZ Act; forests; mining and petroleum; water; marine pollution; air; hazardous substances; new organisms; noise; Maori and environmental law; heritage; landscape and visual; and climate change. Other chapters cover environmental assessment; environmental litigation; and statutory remedies. This book is intended primarily for legal and other practitioners working in environmental and resource management law, but will also be useful for students, since it covers the same ground as many environmental and related fields and resource management law courses taught in New Zealand universities and other educational institutions.
This textbook provides a concise introduction for students with little or no legal background, to the role of law in environmental protection. It describes and explains law and legal systems, the concept of the environment, sources of environmental law and some of the techniques used in environmental law. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book explores some of the major connections between law and the disciplines of ethics, science, economics and politics. Environment and Law offers a greater understanding of international and national environmental law and has case-studies from all over the world, including examples from UK, US and Australian law.
