"I joined the Frank Bold team because it does not provide legal services just for the purpose of practicing law as such, but actively helps clients make good decisions, based on the values that Frank Bold confesses and which are very close to me personally. Due to the wide and specific range of services provided, the office also helps implement visionary and socially beneficial projects. It also actively participates in legislative activities. This overlap is very important and fulfilling for me at work."
Governments turning a blind eye to Illegal lignite mining in Turów: Local communities and the environment suffer.
Local groups and NGOs including Frank Bold, that is very active in the process, welcomed the Czech government’s decision to file a lawsuit at the European Court of Justice against the Polish government for the illegal operation of the Turów lignite coal mine, which has been dug right up to the Czech and German borders, damaging local water supplies for nearby communities. This is the first such legal case for the Czech Republic and the first in EU’s history where one member state sues another for environmental reasons.
Thirty thousand people in the Czech Republic’s Liberec region face a loss of access to drinking water due to the planned expansion of the Turów coal mine. This mine is planned to newly stretch outwards to just 150 meters from the Czech border and downwards to a depth below the bottom of the Baltic. The resulting drainage of Czech underground water is not just a threat to citizens; the drying out of the area would destroy entire local ecosystems and cause significant agricultural damage. A further increase to dust and noise levels is a threat as well. Furthermore, the end date for mining is to be delayed from 2020 out to 2044.
