Beyond the lessons learned from the institutional and administrative perspective, our lessons from environmental litigation should also be mentioned here. Since the enactment of 1992 NEQA there have been only two major lawsuits directly based on provisions in the framework environmental law. The first case was filed by Mr Panat Tasneeyanond alleging that the Prime Minister as the Chairperson of the NEB and other high ranking environmental decision-makers were liable for their decision to construct governmental buildings on public land in Bangkok which was located near the plaintiffs’ residences. The construction site is ecologically valuable, consisting of marshes, swamps and fens. The plaintiffs, therefore, challenged the defendants to reconsider the construction plan and asked them to designated the land as an ‘Environmentally Protected Area’ according to section 43 of NEQA. The plaintiffs asserted that their right to sue the defendants to reconsider their construction project is based on their environmental rights for a good standard of living under the 1991 Constitution. On another ground, the plaintiffs also claimed their right to information under section 6(1) of NEQA, and asking the defendants to disclose information regarding the construction project
