Various laws, including international obligations, may apply to a business that is active in a particular industry. Licenses or permits may be required before this activity or industrial process can be undertaken. These aim to protect the local environment and ensure that the habitat is not threatened by breaches of statutory obligations and other responsibilities.
Statutory or administrative benchmarks relating to industrial output may create obligations on the part of businesses under a license, consent or permit. These may relate to emissions to water or air, or noise pollution. Permits may also create obligations in relation to other matters such as energy consumption and waste minimisation.
Before any activity should be undertaken, it may be prudent to seek legal assistance in relation to compliance, so as to determine whether a business is not in breach of any mandatory requirements at law. In the event that there is a suspected breach, evidence of this breach will need to be considered in light of the business entity’s legal obligations. Matters that may be taken into account could include statutory and treaty obligations or benchmarks, contractual terms, relevant policy documents and industry guidelines.
If you wish to challenge a license, consent or permit, or if you are on the receiving end of such a challenge, there may be a variety of important legal considerations that might need to be weighed up before any decision is made on how to run your matter.
