内容説明

This volume examines the legal issues concerning environmental hazards and duties of disclosure. In addition to outlining European Union regulations, separate country reports are provided on Denmark, Germany, Sweden, England and Wales, France, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland. Each country report treats issues such as the concept of hazards, to whom the duty to disclose attaches, to whom disclosure is required, how and when a hazard must be disclosed, who oversees or compels disclosure, consequences of non-disclosure, defences, and territorial application.
