Environmental Group Actions

Our specialist team has unparalleled experience of successfully defending environmental group actions to trial and a strong track record in preventing proceedings from being issued. Litigation handled by Nabarro has shaped the law in this area including the extent to which disclosure is required of the costs protection afforded to claimants.

We regularly act for clients in the waste management and related industrial sectors in defending group actions alleging private nuisance caused by odour, dust, noise and similar interference.

Our experience includes (but is not limited to) the following:

  • Claimant law firms and the issues arising from conditional fee arrangements and after the event insurance
  • Disclosure of ATE insurance policies
  • Group Litigation Orders
  • Costs capping applications in the context of Group Litigation Orders.
  • Expert evidence in private nuisance claims.
  • Effective case management of large scale actions.
  • The relationship between the common law of private nuisance and modern regulatory schemes
