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).
