Latest webinar in IOPC Funds’ series focuses on recovery of costs for environmental damage

On 10 July, the IOPC Funds delivered the eighth session in its webinar series, entitled “Successful Recovery of Costs for environmental Damage”. The session, which is part of the current Module on “Claims for compensation”, was led by Claims Manager, Ana Cuesta.

In a 15-minute presentation, Ms. Cuesta discussed the recovery of costs for environmental damage, including post-spill studies and reinstatement measures. She detailed the key principles to consider when submitting these claims, emphasising the need to comply with the admissibility criteria set by the IOPC Funds.

The event was delivered twice to provide flexibility to participants from different time zones to attend, and the Claims Manager responded to a variety of questions following the conclusion of each session.

The IOPC Funds’ webinar series has been well-received since its inception and is open to any interested party, with the option for participants to attend either the full series or only those webinars of particular interest to them.

The full programme, available here, covers a variety of subjects. The next session under the “Claims for Compensation” module, entitled “Successful Recovery of Losses in the Tourism and Fishery Industries”, will take place on 25 September 2024.
