Abstract

This paper analyzes the right of access to information regarding the environment from a jurisprudential perspective. The paper therefore examines the principal rulings in this matter. These include rulings by the European Court of Justice, the Supreme Court of Spain, the National Court of Spain, and the Courts of Justice of the Autonomous Communities of Spain, although reference may also be made to rulings by the European Court of First Instance and some Courts for Contentious-Administrative Proceedings. The aim of this is to try and offer some guidelines for interpreting Law 27/2006, 18 July, which will facilitate the application of this law regarding the right of access to environmental information.
