Environmental law

How do you file an objection during a public inquiry? What can you do about a zoning violation? How do you deal with land reparcelling?

The legal domain of environmental law comprises environmental and spatial planning law. In fact, it is a collective name for all laws and regulations concerning the physical living environment in which people live or work. This may involve rules relating to spatial planning, building, environment, water, nature protection and general administration.
