Nicholls v. Director-General of National Parks and Wildlife Service and others Pays/Territoire Australie Type de cour Autres Date Sep 29, 1994 Source UNEP, InforMEA Nom du tribunal Land and Environment Court of New South Wales Juge Talbot Numéro de référence 81 LGERA 397 Langue Anglais Sujet Espèces sauvages et écosystèmes Mot clé EIA Espèces animales protégées Principe de précaution Résumé The Applicant appealed against the decision of the Director General of the National Wildlife Service under Section 92C of the National Park and Wildlife Act 1974, to grant a licence under Section 120 of that Act to the Forestry Commission of New South Wales to take or kill any protected fauna in the course of carrying out forestry operations within the Wingham Management Area. The Court held that the Fauna Impact Statement on the whole contained information to the extent required by Section 92D of the National Park and Wildlife Act 1974. While expressing concern for the workability of the precautionary principle, it was, the court said, “a practical approach which the court finds axiomatic in dealing with environmental assessment.” Texte intégral Jud.Dec.Nat.pre.pdf Disponible en UNEP/UNDP/Dutch Government Joint Project on Environmental Law in Africa, Compendium of Judicial Decisions on Matters related to Environment, National Decisions, Volume I, Page 349 Références Cites Leatch v.
