1 Environmental Law for Facilities Managers Mr James Pong Mr Francis Yeung
2 Environmental law civil or criminal in nature Nuisance is always a balancing exercise One man s meat may be another man s poison Give and take Live and let live Public nuisance or private nuisance?
3 Public nuisance Public nuisance is a crime Every people is guilty of an offence at common law, known as public nuisance, who does an act not warranted by law, or omits to discharge a legal duty, if the effect of the act or omission is to endanger the life, health, property, morals, or comfort of the public, or to obstruct the public in the exercise of enjoyment of rights commons to all Her Majesty s subject. (Archbold)
4 Differences between Civil and Criminal Law Civil Criminal Between 2 individuals Between the State and an individual Damages (compensation) - $$ and/or injunction Fines (penalty) and/or imprisonment and criminal record Burden of proof on the plaintiff Burden of proof on the Prosecution Standard of proof is on a balance of probabilities Standard of proof is beyond reasonable doubts Ingredients : tort of nuisance Ingredients of the offence : mens rea and actus reus (actus non facit reum nisi mens sit reus) Part of the legal cost might be borne by the complainant (the aggrieved person) No legal cost for the complainant
5 Environmental Legislation in Hong Kong (enforced by EPD) Air Pollution Control Ordinance, Cap. 311 Noise Control Ordinance, Cap. 400 Water Pollution Control Ordinance, Cap. 358 Waste Disposal Ordinance, Cap. 354 Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance, Cap. 499 Dumping at Sea Ordinance, Cap. 466 Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance, Cap. 403 Hazardous Chemicals Control Ordinance, Cap. 595 Product Eco-responsibility Ordinance, Cap. 603
6 Other Environmental Legislation in Hong Kong Merchant Shipping (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Ordinance, Cap. 413 Oil Pollution (Land Use and Requisition) Ordinance, Cap. 247 Protection of Harbour Ordinance, Cap. 531 Forests and Countryside Ordinance, Cap.96 Marine Parks Ordinance, Cap. 476
7 Strict Liability Gammon (HK) Ltd & Others v AG (a) There is a presumption of law that mens rea is required before a person can be held guilty of a criminal offence; (b) The presumption is particularly strong where the offence is truly criminal in character; (c) The presumption applies to statutory offences, and can be displaced only if this is clearly or by necessary implication the effect of the statute; (d) The only situation in which the presumption can be displace is where the statute is concerned with an issue of social concern. Public safety is such an issue; (e) Even there a statute is concerned with such an issue, the presumption of mens rea stands unless it can be shown that the creation of strict liability will be effective to promote the objects of the statute by encouraging greater vigilance to prevent the commission of the prohibited act.
8 Example of Strict Liability Section 10 of the Water Pollution Control Ordinance Cap 358: it shall not be necessary for the prosecution to prove that the acts or omissions in question were accompanied by any intention, knowledge or negligence on the part of the defendant as to any element of the offence. Regulation 17B of the Water Pollution Control (General) Regulations HKSAR v Sunley Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. (2000), HCMA 1026/2000
9 How Strict is Strict Liability? R v Winson (1969) The person on whom a duty is thrown is responsible, whether he has delegated or whether he has acted through a servant A man cannot get out of the responsibilities which have been put on him by delegating those responsibilities to another. Mousell v London and North-Western (1917) The principal is liable if the act is in fact done by his servants
10 Liability of Main-Contractors (Property Management Company) Its liability is confirmed in HKSAR v Paul Y ITC (1998) : Section 4(2) of the Noise Control Ordinance - Noise from domestic premises and Public Places knowingly permits or suffers noise which is a source of annoyance to any person... section 6(1) of the Noise Control Ordinance - Noise from Construction Sites uses, or causes or permits to be used, any powered mechanical equipment...
11 Liability of Main-Contractors (Property Management Company) The activities under S.6 concerned public well-being and were closely associated with concerns of public health; people had a choice whether to participate in such activities; and such activities could be controlled by improvements in business methods. In these circumstances, there was no doubt that the legislation intended that proof of knowledge of the particular breaches was not necessary.
12 Liability of Main-Contractors (Property Management Company) (a) (b) The main-contractor has the same responsibility as if it has done the work itself and cannot escape liability by delegating work to others The main-contractor causes the work done by his sub-contractor.
13 Appeal against abatement notice civil or criminal in nature? Civil in nature Lies in the purview of various appeal boards Instead of lodging an appeal to the various appeal board, can the defendant wait to deal with his discontent with the abatement notice in the magistrate court when his case is being heard? HKSAR v The Incorporated Owners of No.10 Bonham Strand & Another (2004), HCMA 239/2004
