E134 The Fifth Court - Austria’s Supreme Court President Georg Kodek - Why the Law Can’t Save the Planet

Courts, Climate & Common Sense – Austria’s Supreme Court President Georg Kodek on Why the Law Can’t Save the Planet


In this compelling episode, The Fifth Court hosts Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL sit down with Georg Kodek, President of the Austrian Supreme Court, during the European Law Institute Conference in Vienna.


He explains why courts can’t be expected to fix climate change – and why real solutions must come from politics and public conviction, not litigation.

From a Peruvian farmer’s lawsuit against German power plants to how TikTok might be used by the Austrian Supreme Court, Kodek discusses the limits of law in global challenges – and why judges must learn to speak to the public again.


But first, three fascinating Decisis.ie cases:

  • DPP v Clark – Repeat firearm offender sees sentence increased from 6 to 7½ years.
  • DPP v BK – Conviction of a mother set aside after court finds statements in a safeguarding assessment unreliable.
  • Harford v Commissioner of An Garda Síochána – Judicial review dismissed where a criminal trial was deemed an adequate remedy.

Sponsored by Charltons Solicitors & Collaborative Practitioners, specialising in Family Law, Civil Litigation, Property, Wills and Probate.
