Where can I find a list of case law examples for reference?
An employer currently uses a dedicated facility (option A) for work where the plant has the capability to controls emissions to air and also control the standard of process water emissions (bacteria etc)
The employer wishes to switch to another facility, let me say option B, within his jurisdiction. Option B does not have the ability to control emissions to air all and cannot control process water emissions to the same standard as option A. Option B has much easier contractual terms and there are financial advantages for the employer to use this option.
Is there an example I can reference where the employer may select option B, but only when additional control measures are put in place to match the emission control standards of option A?
Thanks……Duncan.

I don't see an immediate need for case law examples, as they are usually specific to a particular case, all be it outlining general principles.

Usually when discussing emission levels etc you should be working to relevant ACOPS or British STandard or other recognised industrial guidance e.g. EH/40

If you are a COMAH site you would have an operating licence which would give emissions limits.

I think you need to go and identify the relevant technical standards that your process should be operating to and/or has been designed to operate to - if you haven't already done so.
