The claimant bought a house. The fact that it was a listed building was not recorded by the registers. As a consequence, a neighbour was permitted to develop his property.
Held: The failure to register the status gave a right to compensation, but in fact the claimant had suffered no loss. Had the listing been recorded, he would have had to have paid more for the house.
