Environmental liability of the business its management and its employees
February 1st, 2012Seminar date: April 24, 2012
Since the amendment of the Environment Quality Act on October 4, 2011, corporate management must review its management of environmental risks. Corporate directors and officers are now presumed guilty of offences committed by the corporation.
The Act created administrative monetary penalties that take the form of tickets issued on the spot for a number of offences.
New powers to make orders have been conferred and new recourses created, and providing evidence thereof has been facilitated.
