Lege controversată în Noua Zeelandă. Parlamentul a interzis procesele civile împotriva companiilor care poluează

New Zealand's Parliament has passed a controversial law that prohibits lawsuits against major companies for environmental damages, ending a case initiated by an indigenous activist. The government argues the law is necessary to prevent civil litigation from undermining climate policies and business confidence. The legislation was a direct response to a lawsuit by Maori activist Michael Smith against six major polluters. Critics, including Smith and the Green Party, argue this sets a dangerous precedent for judicial intervention and undermines democracy. The Climate Change Commission has warned that current government policies may hinder emission reduction targets.
