Civil Liability for Transfrontier Pollution:Dutch Environmental Tort Law in International Cases in the Light of Community Law

This text is about both European Community law and Dutch environmental law as applicable in international cases. It contains an in-depth analysis of the Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Judgments from the point of view of environmental protection. In addition, the EC law doctrine of indirect effect, which is of practical importance, is critically examined. Dutch environmental tort law, which is likely to influence future EC law in this field, is discussed in detail. This book makes a developed body of case law accessible to non-Dutch lawyers.
