Mot clé Droit d'agir en justice Résumé A decision concerning a permit for a waste incineration plant was appealed by some members of the public who lived 2-5 km from the plant. The applicant company called for the appeal to be dismissed as the appellants were not particularly concerned by the plant in question. The company claimed that the appellants were not living in the areas most directly affected by the air pollution from the plant and that even in those areas, the level of pollution was very low. The Environmental Court of Appeal found that the appellants were living close enough to the plant that they were affected by at least air pollution and that they thus had the right to appeal.
