The chapter, “Common Law Approaches to Environmental Damage Claims,” surveys and comments on the nature of common law claims such as trespass, nuisance and negligence, and on their use in environmental cases. The justiciability of climate change cases and mass environmental tort claims is also discussed. Mr. Sheldon was assisted by Hinshaw associate
