Successful rectification of a wrongful registration for a Village Green

Successful rectification of a wrongful registration for a Village Green
Tuesday, May 29, 2007

High Peak BC were successful on an application under s.14 Commons Registration Act 1965. This was the conclusion of a long saga over six years that had involved two public Inquiries. The land formed part of Fairfield Common Buxton. The Court’s decision upheld HPBC’s argument that the land ought not to have been registered and made an Order for rectification by deleting the entry from the Register of Village Greens.

Anthony Porten QC and Morag Ellis QC appeared for High Peak BC (instructed by Pannone).
