Environmental law: by Stuart Bell, Donald McGillivray, Ole Pedersen, Emma Lees and Elen Stokes, Oxford, United Kingdom, OUP, 2024, 10th edition, 696 pp., £44.99 (paperback), ISBN 978-0-19-284769-0Edited by Benedict Turner

Bell et al's 10 th edition of Environmental Law has proven to have been worth the 7 year wait and is sure to become a staple in environmental law classrooms given its learning benefits.Firstly, Bell et al provide the most up-to-date textbook on the market, as evidenced through the sources included in this edition.For example, recent legislative developments, such as the Environment Act 2021, are examined, as well as recent case law, including the 2023 Supreme Court decision on private nuisance in Fearn v Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery, and the 2020 Supreme Court ruling on climate change in R (Friends of the Earth) v Heathrow Airport.However, some contemporary content has been overlooked, including reference to the ongoing Plastic Treaty negotiations, which is due to be enforced later this year.As the treaty will significantly reform plastic regulation, students would have greatly benefitted from its inclusion to aid their critical understanding of how this field is changing.

Abstract

Bell et al's 10 th edition of Environmental Law has proven to have been worth the 7 year wait and is sure to become a staple in environmental law classrooms given its learning benefits.Firstly, Bell et al provide the most up-to-date textbook on the market, as evidenced through the sources included in this edition.For example, recent legislative developments, such as the Environment Act 2021, are examined, as well as recent case law, including the 2023 Supreme Court decision on private nuisance in Fearn v Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery, and the 2020 Supreme Court ruling on climate change in R (Friends of the Earth) v Heathrow Airport.However, some contemporary content has been overlooked, including reference to the ongoing Plastic Treaty negotiations, which is due to be enforced later this year.As the treaty will significantly reform plastic regulation, students would have greatly benefitted from its inclusion to aid their critical understanding of how this field is changing.
