Ep: 069 - The Problem with the Definition of Pollutants

Environmentally Speaking

Buckle in folks, Marisa is fired up this week! We are discuss a recent decision that the supreme court issued in a case here locally. The particular case we discussing is not what we would call your customary environmental law case because it’s a private cause of action that is based in insurance, contract law. However, it just so happens that the source of the contract dispute centers around definition of the term pollutants.

You don’t want to miss this one!
