Landowners suffer major defeat in the Supreme Court's decision over registration of town and village greens.
Last Wednesday’s decision of the Supreme Court in R. v. Redcar & Cleveland BC ex p. Lewis [2010] UKSC 11 has defeated the landowners latest weapon against the registration of a town and village green, namely the argument that the public deferred to the landowners private use of the land.
The decision overturning the Court of Appeal [2009] 1 WLR 1461 may well have adverse consequences for landowners wishing to develop open land in the future.
