Litigation Support

Environmental litigation and planning inquiries have now become an almost routine part of the planning process for many development projects. Civil litigation frequently follows when engineering projects go awry, and criminal prosecution for environmental offences is becoming more common. In all these circumstances, litigants need the support of expert witnesses.

C. M. Jewell & Associates has provided expert witness support in litigation in the NSW Land and Environment Court, the NSW Supreme Court, District Courts and numerous Planning Inquiries. We also contributed to the Coronial Inquiry into the Thredbo Landslide.
