Question

Many of the environmental statutes permit citizen suits. As a result, environmental groups bring many lawsuits against both the EPA and polluters, alleging violations of these statutes. Are these suits a good idea? The Fish and Wildlife Service says that it spends so much of its resources responding to litigation over why it has not listed endangered species that it has no resources left to actually to do the listing. Businesses argue that it is unfair for every citizen to be a cop on the beat. On the other hand, environmental groups often supplement the limited resources of the EPA.

Answer 1

Environmental agencies, business organizations and all big institutes have load of responsibilities and unending issues to handle. On top of it, law suits being filed against them for petty issues or by people who don’t have appropriate knowledge or who didn’t understand a proposal by an agency fully can be irritating and responding to these litigations can drain out a major chunk of the financial resources of an organization.

 

On the other hand, in a democratic country how can one stop people from approaching a court against what they feel is not right. It is their right to approach to the court foe hat they feel is wrong.

 

Thus it can be concluded that these suits aren’t a good idea.

 

So, a solution for the said problem can be that each organization’s legal department is contacted first by the party who wishes to file a suit against the agency. If the legal department is not able to give a satisfactory reply then the court case can be perused. This would save a lot of time and money. Also the limited resources of the environment groups and business can be saved.

The limited resources of the environment groups and business can be saved.
