Campaigner to appeal court’s refusal of judicial review for Ofwat on sewage regulation

Wild Justice will appeal the refusal of permission for judicial review this Thursday (12th) of what it argues is Ofwat’s failure to regulate sewage discharges.

The wildlife campaigner vowed to appeal after its request was rejected in October. It said at the time its case was strong and that “Ofwat simply asserted that it had considered all the matters we raised – but failed to provide any documentary evidence to back that up. Ofwat has claimed that it is doing something about sewage discharges – that is not the same as doing enough.”
