The Van der Walle case on waste – a new contaminated land liability?
For some time industry and some environment lawyers have been expressing concern about the breadth of application being given to the EU Framework Directive on Waste 75/442/EEC (as amended). The concern is that waste law is being applied so broadly that it is covering issues originally intended to be dealt with by other legal regimes. On 7 September 2004 in case C-1/03 (Van der Walle and others) the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for the first time applied ...

I've only worked for the NHS for 3 years, so I can't be sure, but wasn't it less wasteful and more efficient before the creation of individual Trusts, and the requirement to tender everything (including patient care) to independent healthcare providers? If the Government wants to know where all the NHS money is going, it should look carefully at PFI schemes... I firmly believe th...
