| Résumé anglais |
The need to identify someone to take responsibility for the rehabilitation of a polluted site has led administrative authorities to seek out the owner of the land as the person responsible for the waste materials found there or for the installation. However, the owner has the possibility to invoke his good faith provided that he was able to take certain measures prior to acquiring the land or the plant in question. The former owner may have agreed also to take responsibility for all damage prior to the transfer of ownership. Nevertheless, it is the present owner, being easy to identify, who is always likely to be troubled at some time, even if finally he is exonerated from his responsibility or, if relevant, is able to recover his costs.
