The violations of environmental law can lead to different types of court cases. Here are the possibilities:
1. Either civil or criminal cases:
- Civil cases: Environmental law violations may result in civil lawsuits where individuals, groups, or organizations seek compensation for damages caused by the violation.
- Criminal cases: Serious violations of environmental laws can lead to criminal charges being brought against individuals or companies responsible for the violation. This could result in fines, probation, or even imprisonment.
Therefore, violations of environmental law can lead to either civil cases (lawsuits for damages) or criminal cases (prosecution for serious offenses).
