Défense basée sur la diligence raisonnable : expression utilisée parfois pour décrire la défense à laquelle peuvent avoir recours dans certaines circonstances les administrateurs, les gestionnaires ou les propriétaires d'une entité, et qui consiste à faire la preuve qu'ils ont pris des précautions raisonnables pour prévenir un accident écologique ou en amoindrir les conséquences. 4, record 1, French, - accident%20%C3%A9cologique

Parce que l'adjectif «écologique» signifie aussi «favorable à l'environnement», ce qui peut étonner lorsqu'il détermine un substantif comme «accident»,il faut parfois lui préférer l'adjectif «environnemental» qui ne présente pas cet inconvénient. 5, record 1, French, - accident%20%C3%A9cologique
