The Dijon court processed its first environmental criminal summary this week. This is a first for this jurisdiction after the creation of this procedure two years ago, at the same time as a judicial center dedicated to the environment.
The case dealt with on Tuesday August 1 concerned the complaint of a couple from Montigny-Montfort who accused one of the farmers in the town of dumping slurry into his pond. The plaintiffs have just won their case and the farmer is ordered to remedy it as soon as possible
What does the decision rendered this Friday by the court say?
The couple defended by Maître Suplisson therefore emerges as the winner of this first judicial round for this new jurisdiction. The accused farmer is found guilty of failing to comply with the regulations in force. He is condemned :
