We have noticed that there are increasing amounts of prosecutions in relation to the storage, disposal or treatment of controlled waste and waste generally. Fly-tipping is becoming an increasing problem, especially for people who have obtained Waste Management licences and have little or no control over individuals who deposit waste at or near their company's boundaries.
We attend for interviews under caution at the Environmental Health Authority's offices and advise in relation to such interviews. Where a prosecution arises we advise in relation to any possible defences, deal with the advocacy for such matters in the Magistrates Court and/or Crown Court, briefing Counsel where necessary, and advancing pleas in mitigation where guilt is admitted.
