He has obtained environmental permits for a diverse range of clients across a

number of sectors.

This work has typically included environmental impact studies and land

contamination assessments.

It has also included obtaining road haulage operating licences from the Traffic

David provides expert witness reports on water pollution control matters

including environmental permit breaches.

Several cases have involved his review of the design and operation of drainage and water treatment infrastructure to identify design and operational faults.

A recent case included his inspection of a sewerage infrastructure scheme

which demonstrated that both faulty design and construction practices

contributed to sewage treatment failures.

Several of his expert witness cases have involved consideration of the adequacy (or

contributory negligence to given breaches of environmental and/or public health law

and or environmental harm and associated human health impacts.

His expert witness case work has enabled clients to successfully defend against the

Environment Agency’s threat of waste and/or water management prosecutions. In a

recent civil case his review of a crown dependency’s environmental management

practices enabled an international chemical company to successfully defend a large

pollution damages claim (+ £27 million).
