(Environment - Aarhus Convention - Directive 85/337/EEC - Directive 2003/35/EC - Article 10a - Directive 96/61/EC - Article 15a - Access to justice in environmental matters - Meaning of ‘not prohibitively expensive' judicial proceedings)
In Case C 260/11,
REQUEST for a preliminary ruling under Article 267 TFEU from the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (United Kingdom), made by decision of 17 May 2011, received at the Court on 25 May 2011, in the proceedings
The Queen, on the application of:
Public bodies' duty to counsult on internal advice: the limits of the Bushell doctrine
Law lords blast top solicitor for abuse of process
One of England's leading solicitors has been castigated by two law lords for abusing the procedure of the House of Lords.
Richard Buxton, a claimant environmental law specialist with his own practice, was accused by Lord Hoffman of submitting a memorandum, after he had seen the draft speeches of the law lords, referring to three European directives he had failed to mention before.
As a result of the memorandum, Lord Hoffman said publication of the judgment in R (on the application of Edwards) v The Environment Agency [2008] UKHL 22 had to be postponed by a week.
