The author intends to analyse a good practice regarding the judicial interpretation of an environmental obligation, namely the obligation of fact-finding in connection with remediation. In order to introduce the full picture, the author draws up a doctrinal summary concerning the regulation of groundwater protection. He does not only present the Hungarian regulation, but also he mentions the legislative acts of the European Union. The article can be considered as a case analysis, nevertheless it also contains doctrinal questions and legal interpretation through one of the judgments of the Hungarian Supreme Court. After analysing the questions raised, the author formulates some proposals.
