Abstract
Environmental harms are by their nature complex and as such give rise to
formal legal responses that range from simple regulatory intervention to multi-faceted
court order. The purpose of this paper is to explore the emergence of environmental
courts and the development of judicial and tribunal expertise in this specific area. A
wide range of sanctions are now available and being actively applied by such bodies.
Moreover, in many instances, the philosophical approach adopted by these courts is
that of problem-solving. The combination of specialist expertise and innovative
methods of intervention are progressively revolutionising judicial practice in regards
to contemporary environmental issues.
