Porter v Secretary of State for Transport [1995] 2 EGLR 175
1995
LT
Judge Marder QC
Land, Damages, Estoppel
A positive section 17 (or section 18) certificate has been issued on the basis that the relevant land would be developed, or could only be developed, in conjunction with other land in the vicinity. It was argued that no assumption arose as a matter of law that planning permission would be granted for such development of the other land. Held. In such circumstances an issue estoppel arose so as to preclude the acquiring authority from reopening the issues of fact on the basis of which a section 18 certificate had been granted.
