RELEVANT MATTERS OF THE PROCESS REGARDINGCIVIL LIABILITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

Abstract

Environmental damage generates a two ways responsibility: on the one hand, whoever attacks the environment is responsible, due to having caused direct damage to the collective good. Then, it is also civilly liable for the damage that it indirectly causes to third parties as a result of the impact on the environment. About that, there are some elements that must be particularly considered in relation to proving the cause. Thats why when there is environmental damage, proving in a judicial file the relationship between the harmful event and the damage particularly considered in relation to proving the cause. Thats why when there is environmental damage, proving in a judicial file the relationship between the harmful event and the damage suffered can support other evidentiary difficulties and that is why the proof of presumptions and even the indicative proof have a leading role in some cases.
