ENVIRONMENT COURT WILL CUT DOWN DELAYS - DR. REDDY
14/07/2021
“It is essential to set up an environment court to cut down delays which are hindering the implementation of environmental laws in Fiji. The prosecution launched in the ordinary Criminal Courts never reach a timely or groundbreaking conclusion either because of the workload in these Courts, lack of specialised judges, or because there is no proper appreciation of the significance of the environmental matters on the part of those in charge of conducting these cases.”
This was the key statement delivered by the Minister for Agriculture, Waterways and Environment Dr Mahendra Reddy while addressing the Inaugural IUCN Oceania Environmental Law virtual Conference this morning.
