Supreme Court decision comes as anger mounts over groups discharging sewage into rivers and coastal waters

Water companies could face a series of legal challenges after a landmark judgment from the Supreme Court ruled that private landowners and individuals can seek redress for sewage released into UK waterways. The legal challenge was one of a number faced by water companies as anger mounts over the mixture of storm water and raw sewage that is pouring into rivers and coastal waters, threatening human health and the environment.

Writing on X, he said it opened the way for “1,000s of claims by fishing clubs, swimmers, riparian owners” against water companies. The slew of legal cases threatens to overhaul the regulatory landscape for water companies, which have already been forced to increase transparency as a result of previous court rulings.
