Seiont, Gwyrfai and Llyfni Anglers’ Society v Natural Resources Wales [2016] EWCA Civ 797, [2016] All ER (D) 23 (Aug)
The Court of Appeal upheld the judge’s decision that “damage”, as defined in Art 2(2) of European Parliament and Council Directive (EC) 2004/35 was restricted to a deterioration in the environmental situation and did not include the prevention of an existing, already damaged environmental state from achieving a level which was acceptable in environmental terms or a deceleration in such achievement.
