CEQA litigation

CEQA litigation refers to legal challenges related to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a law aimed at ensuring environmental considerations are incorporated into governmental decision-making. When a proposed project—like a building or road—might harm the environment, individuals or organizations can sue if they believe the project has not been thoroughly reviewed for its environmental impact. The litigation seeks to ensure compliance with CEQA's requirements, potentially leading to project modifications, delays, or cancellations to protect the environment and public health.
