520 _aExamines liability for the remediation of contaminated land under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Part IIA. Liability should fall on the polluter, although identification is often problematic. If the polluter cannot be found, liability falls on the present owner or occupier. However, in many cases lenders have been held liable for remediation costs through involuntary possession. Argues that lenders' continued exposure to liability is a case of the government shifting responsibility onto the party most able to pay.
