EnvironmentAgency v Clark 2001 Ch 57 also, Re Rhondda Waste Disposal Ltd is a UK insolvency law case concerning the right of creditors to bring proceedings against insolvent companies in administration. It concerned s.10, Insolvency Act 1986 , now Schedule B1, para. 43 6 whereby a moratorium on legal proceedings is effected after an administration order takes place. Facts Rhondda Waste Disposal Ltd, a company wholly owned by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council ran a landfill site under a waste management licence in Gelli, Rhondda Nant y Gwyddon , Rhondda Rhondda Valley . The EnvironmentAgency served an enforcement notice against Rhondda, telling it to comply with its licence terms, under s.33 6 , Environmental Protection Act 1990 . It then got an injunction. Rhondda failed to change in the next six months. So Rhondda petitioned for an administration order. The administrator asked the court to clarify whether the EnvironmentAgency needed leave under the Insolvency Act 1986, s.10 1 c ands.11 3 d to bring criminal prosecutions. Judge Moseley QC, Deputy High Court Judge of the Chancery Division, held it did. The EnvironmentAgency appealed, arguing the words other proceedings in the sections were not intended to cover environmental and criminal proceedings, but only recovery of money. Judgement Scott Baker J, speaking for the Court of Appeal Henry LJ and Robert Walker LJ held that the moratorium on other proceedings plainly meant all proceedings, including criminal proceedings. So the EnvironmentAgency needed permission before prosecuting. This was because other sections in the Act referred to criminal offences, so on a proper construction, criminal proceedings would have been excluded specifically if that had been intended. ref Bristol Airport Plc v. Powdrill 1990 Ch 744 applied Air Ecosse Ltd v. Civil Aviation Authority 1987 S.C. 285 IH 2 Div not followed. ref The purpose ... leave.
