Abubakare Olayiwola Shewu ; Salimot Adetola Shewu and Richmond Upon Thames London Borough Council v London Borough of Hackney: CA 28 Jul 1999

When assessing the value of land compulsorily purchased, the value was that agreed at the date of entry. The existence of a mortgage was not relevant. The authority had a power, but no duty, to repay any mortgage loan, and were not accountable for any interest accruing for any delay. That loss did not flow from the compulsory purchase order.
