Abstract |
Alabama is one of the last jurisidications to retain common law pleading and to maintain separate courts for law and equity; thus any new legal theory presents difficulties not encountered in states with more liberal systems of procedure. The Alabama legal system not only makes the processing of claims more difficult than in other systems but it presents special hazards and barriers in pleading new theories, as is done in environmental litigation which donot fit the ancient forms of action. Chapter 1 discusses Commission procedures; Chapter 2 concerns the role of the Commission as coordinator of the state program; chapter 3 discusses the theoretical problems of pleading in air pollution enforcement suits in Alabama; chapter 4 presents form complaints for initiation of court actions; chapter 5 presents a form complaint and supporting affidavits drawn to illustrate enforcement of the Commission's orders in an air pollution emergency situation; chapter 6 presents a ready reference index of the various violations and types of enforcement actions which may be initiated under the Act. |
