520			_aProvides advice to solicitors on how to prepare for the contaminated land regime and adhere to the Law Society's environmental warning card. The warning card states that solicitors should consider whether contamination is an issue in every transaction they are involved in. Looks at different types of transactions such as leasehold and residential, including the apportionment of liability for contamination. Outlines the main risks of acquiring contaminated land and the key legal liabilities. Sets out the contaminated land regime which came into force on 1 April 2000 in England and is contained in the Environmental Protection Act part IIA. Finally looks at protections for the client which include due diligence, warranties relating to the condition of the property, indemnities, insurance, restructuring the transaction, and reducing the price to reflect environmental risks.
