Ontario's Ministry of the Environment issued its first ever
environmental penalty order to CGC Inc. in February 2008.
Julia Schatz and Sarah Gilbert explore the circumstances
surrounding the inaugural use of this regulatory tool and examine
the Ministry's formulaic determination of the amount of the
penalty. "A Closer Look at Ontario's First Environmental Penalty"
appeared in Volume 17, No.4, of
Environews, the Ontario
Bar Association's Environmental Law Section newsletter.
