The legal expert’s report includes the existence of an opening in the tank any time the levelof sewage reaches this opening it spills in the surface canal (rain water stream) and passes beside the real estate. As a result of the closeness ofthe well in the estate to the water stream, its water is turbid and smells like sewage and it is visibly polluted. This proved to the court the harmcaused by the sewage flowing through the rain water stream because of the company and no one else. Thus, it did not have to invite La SamirCompany or to order a counter legal examination as long as the accredited report covered the technical side of the dispute. Consequently, thedecision does not breach any right of defense and it was well justified.Request rejected Disponible en Court of Cassation’s Decisions on the environment
