▶ I’ve heard about fines from environmental civil sanctions going to good causes. How does that work?
Since January 2011, the Environment Agency has been able to take out civil sanctions against firms which break certain environmental laws. This means that instead of instigating court proceedings, the EA can offer Companies the option of enforcement undertakings, which include clearing up pollution incidents, compensating victims and donating fines to environmental charities. If you are unfortunate enough to have an incident which results in a fine, why not contact us to discuss how that money might be put to good use in the community.
