The claimants challenged the making of an order confirming a public right of way over their farmland.
Held: Where an order is subject to confirmation by the Secretary of State, the quashing of the ‘order’ relates to the original order as made by the authority, rather than simply to its confirmation by the Minister, with the result that everything following from that action is also invalidated, regardless of whether it had any relevance to the legal defect.
