Regina v Secretary of State for the Environment Transport and the Regions, Ex Parte Premiere Environmental Ltd: QBD 15 Mar 2000

A waste disposal licence was suspended. The notice provided that the suspension would terminate when the Environment Agency notified the licence holder that it in its view the disposal could safely be continued. The company complained that this was not sufficiently an ‘event’ and that accordingly the notice was ineffective. It was held that the word ‘event’ should not be construed so restrictively. The event should be related to the suspension but not further limited in its nature. The condition was appropriate.
