Goodmans Presents: Muddying the Waters: Testing the Limits of Environmental Responsibility

This session will assist the non-environmental lawyer or business person to gain a better appreciation of recent developments that could result in meaningful environmental liability.  Corporations and their directors, officers and shareholders are all at risk.  The net is being cast much broader than you would think.  Join our expert panel as they clearly outline the issues and developments in non-technical terms.

Recent enforcement activity by the Ministry of Environment is sending a clear message to industry and corporate stakeholders: the MOE is prepared to reach into the deepest pockets, regardless of who is responsible for the polluting.  The approach of “the polluter pays” is no longer a safe assumption.  Directors, officers and shareholders need to be aware of their potential exposure to environmental matters.
