One day, lawyer L received an emergency call from Ms. K, the head of the EHS department of a Shandong company. Ms. K said that the company has suffered frequent shutdown recently because of the “heavy air pollution stop working order” issued by the environmental protection department, which has seriously affected the company’s capacity.
