Teaser TextStephen Shergold, Sam Boileau and Jennifer Long of Denton Wilde Sapte discuss bin tax and the role of media pressure in environmental law making The recent announcement by Government not to proceed with the so called “bin tax” highlights a couple of particular challenges facing environmental law makers in the United Kingdom. Firstly it highlights the acute vulnerability of developed regulatory proposals to media pressure. Secondly it highlights the fact that, in the world of waste regulation, policy changes can swiftly lead to changes in the law. This is why waste operators have to keep such a sharp eye on policy developments and why there is room for not just one but several legal articles in the monthly CIWM publication!
