Tom Flynn SC, PELGBA Chair
Speaker:
The volume of jurisprudence emanating from the Irish Courts has increased significantly in recent years, but perhaps none more so than in the area of planning and environmental law. In addition to the specialist Planning and Environment Court, which has three permanent judges appointed to it, cases which raises issues of planning and environmental law regularly appear in the appellate and European Courts.
Against this background, it is difficult for practitioners to keep up to date with the most recent developments in the case law from both the Irish and European Courts. This PELGBA CPD aims to provide practitioners with an overview of some of the most recent and relevant decisions of the Irish and European Courts in the area of planning and environmental law.
At the end of the presentation, participants will;
- Have furthered their knowledge about recent decisions of the Irish Courts in planning and environmental law.
- Gained a better understanding of judgments from the European Court of Justice and how these judgments may impact the interpretation of EU law obligations in Irish law.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception in the Sheds.
This event is open to all
