Harrow London Borough Council v Donohue: CA 1995

The plaintiff complained at the defendant’s garage, half of which had been built on the plaintiff’s land. The judge had awarded damages in lieu of a mandatory injunction for its removal. The Council appealed.
Held: Where a landowner had been ‘totally dispossessed by the defendant’s ‘encroaching building’ the plaintiff was entitled ‘as of right to a mandatory order’ although it suggested that the court, depending on the circumstances, might ‘well retain a limited discretion’.
