For four years from 2005 to its successful conclusion in 2009 Roger Braithwaite worked on the Corby Steelworks Case representing the children of Corby who were adversely affected by pollution from the remediation.
This was a landmark case not only in the UK, but the world. For the first time a link was established between the demolition and remediation of a contaminated site and adverse affects on the development of the foetus.
Roger was Expert Witness for the claimants in matters relating to:
* Legislation and associated guidance available at the time the remedial works were undertaken
* Iron, steel works and coal carbonisation processes
* Waste arisings and waste disposal
* Contaminated land assessment and remediation
* Local government process and regulation
* Nuisance
