The Precautionary Principle Sample Clauses

The Precautionary Principle. In addition to the other considerations of a LAP required under the Act, the precautionary principal was raised in submissions. The concept of the precautionary principle is a concept derived from environmental law and relates to the potential risk and availability evidence. Council must consider all of the submissions and evidence presented. It is required to evaluate this evidence, including its reliability, in coming to a decision In some instances, whilst there may be no scientific or empirical evidence available, much less in a local context, there is nevertheless clear evidence between the availability of alcohol and the risk of harm, which when combined with the local context, the expert evidence available and anecdotal evidence presented, is sufficient to justify a cautious, or precautionary approach to the policy, especially in light of the potential risk of harm. The strength of some of the evidence presented was less convincing than other of it but nevertheless it sought to highlight the potential for harm. This may have occurred where there has been a lack of specific scientific research, survey data and specific local information. For example, a lot of evidence was presented on the impact of alcohol on fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). However, the causal relationship between FASD and alcohol availability generally was less clear. As a further example, the national and international research shows a causal nexus, or relationship, between alcohol availability and increased hours with alcohol related xxxxx and incidence of violence. Whilst, in terms of violence, there is strong evidence, for example, that for every hour past midnight there is a significant % increase in violence for every hour thereafter, the evidence relating to specific opening hours (such as between 7am – 9am) is much less direct but nevertheless a reduction in opening hours was sought by some submitters as one means of reducing availability and thus the potential for harm. The Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority considered the application of this precautionary principle in Hospitality New Zealand Incorporated v Tasman District Council (2014 NZARLA PH846). Relevantly, it stated:
