#Towers #Health #Netherlands #Winning #2020
The ruling of the Gelderland District Court (AWB 19/2184) – in conjunction with ruling AWB 19/2213 – on December 18, 2020 is of great importance because the judge rules that increased health risks (very well) below the exposure guidelines cannot be ruled out. The court also rules that the health interests of local residents who are sensitive to radiation must be taken into account in the weighing of interests. In Dutch case law, it is the first time that exposure limits are no longer leading due to advancing scientific insight.
#Towers #Health #Netherlands #Winning #2021
In the Central Netherlands District Court’s opinion, it cannot be ruled out that there are health risks associated with the presence of a transmission mast. In the opinion of the court, it is therefore not excluded that claimants will experience significant consequences from the transmission tower in the context of possible health risks. The court finds that claimants should at least be able to have a substantive discussion about this in the objection.

The German court clarified in the lawsuit that property owners who rent out premises for base stations and mobile towers assume responsibility for the health consequences of this activity. Although the radiation is lower than the relevant reference values from the authorities, this does not mean that the property owner is not responsible for the negative health consequences.

HEALTH, SAFETY, PRIVACY, PROPERTY RIGHTS, CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION, DISCRIMINATION — A legal complaint objecting to multiple aspects of smart meters. Overview
The court ruled that the Utilities company DID NOT adequately address health and safety concerns and now must do so. Bangor Daily News
Update 6/4/15: After a 3 year PUC investigation into the health and safety of smart meters following the Supreme Court remand mentioned previously, the Commission ruled smart meters were basically safe enough. There was no vote held by the two commissioners and one of them recognized RF could probably cause adverse health effects and thought no cost opt outs [using a smart meter with transmitter disabled] should be available when suggested by a physician. Because the opinion made little sense and Central Maine Power never met their statutory burden to show safety was ensured with smart meters, opponents have appealed the decision, once more to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. At this point, appellants brief has been filed, appellee’s brief is due June 30th and then opponents have 14 days to file a response. After this, oral arguments will be scheduled. More information and updates on the case can be found here.

#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #Winning #2021
A number of people from VEHS Flanders and Beperk de Straling filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court to annul the mandatory installation of the wireless smart meter for electricity and gas. Constitutional Court keeps the installation of the wireless smart meter for electricity and gas mandatory but recognizes the right to a wired smart meter. In order to protect themselves from electromagnetic radiation, the Constitutional Court stated that any grid user can opt for wired communication instead of wireless communication.

#SmartMeters #Belgium #Flanders #Loss #2023
While the rollout of the wireless smart meter for electricity and gas has been accelerated in 2020 (80% of meters must be installed by the end of 2024), the availability of the wired meter has not. Thus, in this long transition period, an obligation applies without the availability of the wired alternative. For this reason, this accelerated rollout was appealed on 16 October 2020.
The court delayed this case until the ‘wired electricity meter’ was in available, i.e. until after 1 January 2023. In its ruling 256,712 of the Council of State (RvS) on 8 June 2023, this appeal was then dismissed because the applicants had no interest (anymore) in challenging the contested articles.
In the beginning of 2025, there still is no wired smart gas meter.

Third appeal against mandatory smart meters for electricity and gas: Appeal on the non-binding installation of electronic meter without communication device.

The Constitutional Court decided that the grid operator has the obligation to install this kind of meter on request of the grid user. Despite this, grid operator still refuses to install such meter.

Appeal against the remotely readable heat meter: the appeal was dismissed but the Council argues that the decree does not stipulate that wireless communication can be enforced. The Council concluded: after all, remote readability can just as easily be achieved via cabling, so the decree does not mandate wireless communication that exposes users to (additional) electromagnetic radiation, with all the disadvantages that this entails for maintaining and protecting a healthy environment. In practice, though, the heat meter is wireless as standard

He was asked to keep quiet and was eventually terminated for failing to do so.
