[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 8652666, member: 1008"] Can they make such a legal claim against an entire sector upstream, it may well be that those poultry farms are adding to the phosphate in the water but for a legal claim wouldn’t they need to prove responsibility on each one? Also wondering why they don’t go after the water companies who it is well documented do at times let raw sewage straight into watercourses, far easier to prove, the cynic in me thinking that they may have deeper pockets than the farmers to mount a defence. I see they are also going after the EA for allowing them to be built, maybe they have a point there but the cynic in me again thinks deep ockets, they won’t get far. OTOH, if they did win against the EA would that then lead to the possibility of the EA being taken on by the farmers for allowing them to be built as a win could possibly lead to those farmers incurring extra costs or being closed down, quite possibly before their investment had been paid back. Again my cynical mind thinks fighting those with deep pockets so ain’t going to win. Glad I’m not a poultry farmer in the river wye catchment area [/QUOTE]
