It looks critically at how decision makers and courts understand and analyse scientific information by reference to the Habitats and Bird Directives - the core of both domestic and EU nature conservation law. 

What influences judges in these cases; how do national procedural norms affect the approach and outcome; does the stated approach always correlate well with the actual result; how does the precautionary principle manifest itself in real world outcomes which restrict and freeze development decisions; does this feed into constitutional tensions as between the role of the court and the executive in some instances?

This is a text which will have an impact and will endure. You can find a copy here: Hart Publishing (2023).
