Oleksandr Polivodskyy tells about how to recover damages arising from land pollution


Individuals and legal entities are held liable for damage caused to, or pollution or waste contamination of, agricultural or other land, including criminal liability. It is possible to recover both direct damages and lost profit provided that certain conditions are met.

Sofiya Law Firm partner Mr Oleksandr Polivodskyy has told about such conditions in the awareness-raising video entitled 'Know Your Right to Land' by the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice.

The expert has, in particular, specified that it is necessary to take some measures to have offenders held to account, specifically: to establish the fact of pollution, to assess damages caused, and to determine the person liable and the causal link between the acts of such person and the resulting negative consequences.

Damages resulting from land pollution or contamination are calculated in accordance with procedures approved by Order No. 171 of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, dated 27 October 1997.
