May 15th, 2025 by James Goudie KC

In HM TREASURY v GLOBAL FEEDBACK LTD ( 2025 ) EWCA Civ 624 at paras 72-143 inclusive the Court of Appeal holds that a claim falls within the Convention only when there is a contravention of a legal provision which concerns, or has to do with, the environment, its protection or regulation. It does not extend to any decision in breach of any national law which has an effect or impact on the environment.
