Bawtry gasworks contamination Contamination at Bawtry, South Yorkshire, England, subject to precendent making legal action

The Bawtry gasworks contamination involved land at Bawtry, South Yorkshire, England containing hazardous byproducts from the manufacture of coal gas. Remediation of the land was at public expense through the Environment Agency (EA), who then sought to recover the costs from National Grid Gas (NGG), then known as Transco, declaring it the "appropriate person" under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and therefore liable on the basis that one or more of its statutory predecessors caused the contamination. NGG sought a judicial review in the High Court of Justice where Mr. Justice Forbes ruled that they were liable for the costs of the decontamination. The ruling was considered a crucial issue by NGG as, if they were deemed liable in this particular instance, then they could be found liable in a substantial number, possibly thousands, of other cases involving former gasworks.
