Core Viewpoint - The Supreme People's Court of China emphasizes strict legal actions against environmental violations, particularly focusing on fraudulent activities by third-party environmental service providers and illegal waste disposal practices [1][2]. Group 1: Legal Actions Against Environmental Violations - A case involving a testing company revealed that the defendants provided 222 false environmental monitoring reports, earning over 760,000 yuan. The court sentenced the company to a fine of 200,000 yuan and imposed prison terms on six individuals ranging from nine months to one year and two months, prohibiting them from engaging in environmental monitoring for three years post-sentence [1]. - In another case, a resin technology company and its personnel were found guilty of illegally discharging over 20,000 tons of hazardous waste into the Yangtze River. The company was fined 6 million yuan, and the individuals received prison sentences ranging from two years to six years and six months, with a compensation mechanism involving cash and technological improvements [1]. Group 2: Promoting Green Transformation and Conflict Resolution - The courts are actively resolving conflicts arising from the green transformation of the economy, focusing on ecological and environmental disputes that affect people's lives. In a contract dispute case, a biomass energy company refused to accept over 7,000 tons of cow dung, leading to outdoor accumulation. The court applied green principles from the Civil Code to facilitate the reuse of the waste through various methods, including the production of biomass pellets [2]. - In a separate case, a livestock cooperative was found guilty of repeatedly discharging wastewater, contaminating drinking water sources and disrupting water supply to nearby villages. The cooperative was fined 400,000 yuan, and the responsible individual received a four-year prison sentence along with a fine of 100,000 yuan [2].
