Environmental Hazards and Duties of Disclosure : An International Survey Book

Thirteen lawyers examine the most vital issues concerning environmental hazards and duties of disclosure. In addition to a general introductory chapter and a special section on 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 hazard, types of recognized 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, defenses, and territorial application.
