Environment Group Actions


Hugh James is one of the country’s leading specialists in environmental group actions.

We act on behalf of communities across the UK both large and small affected by various forms of environmental pollution and nuisance. You can read about some of our cases by clicking the links below. Please note however that we are unable to publish details of all our cases due to certain confidentiality agreements.

In our experience where people’s lives are blighted by problems such as unpleasant odours from landfill sites, noisy factories or new road developments a group action can provide the answer.

We help residents fight for the enforcement of their legal rights by seeking court orders to prevent further harm and for compensation for loss of property enjoyment or property value.

Our team often handles highly complex technical and legal issues in environmental actions and has a wealth of knowledge to draw on from past experiences.

Hugh James offer free initial specialist advice about bringing legal challenges and are prepared to deal with appropriate cases on a ‘no win no fee’ basis. We are also authorised by the Legal Services Commission to handle cases on Public Funding (formerly Legal Aid).
