Amending the Civil Procedure Rules to establish environmental review

We are seeking views from stakeholders and interested parties on the provision which should be made in the CPR to important matters of procedure for environmental review. Environmental review will be the bespoke litigation mechanism for the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) and is provided for in the Environment Bill currently before Parliament.

We want to know what you think about several key areas where the Environment Bill does not provide a guide to the procedural approach which should be taken and the general approach to amending the rules.
