Regina v Secretary of State for Defence, Ex Parte Wilkins: QBD 13 Jul 2000

Land had been acquired compulsorily, but was now no longer required. The Minister asserted that the character of the land had changed and that there was no need first to re-offer it to the previous owner. The secretary contended that all the parcels of land should be considered together, and the former owners sought consideration of each parcel separately. The court said that the question related to the plot of land now to be sold, rather than the separate plots which had been purchased.
