Local authority

Hunt v North Somerset Council [2015] UKSC 51, [2015] All ER (D) 230 (Jul)

The Supreme Court, in allowing an appeal by the appellant in part, held that although the Court of Appeal, Civil Division, had held that the respondent local authority had failed in its statutory obligations, it did not have to make a declaration to that effect. However, the Court of Appeal’s costs order would be set aside, and H would recover two thirds of his costs in the proceedings.
