What is 鈥榮trict liability鈥?and when is it imposed in English environmental law?

Does the imposition of strict liability in both criminal and civil law imposes too great a burden on companies and their management in relation to environmental protection?

In simple terms, yes. For a broad example you should be looking at Rylands v Fletcher, further more detailed examples can be found in UK and EU environmental directives and proposals.
