Today, Nina Pindham is appearing on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Home Department this week in a case concerning the jurisdiction of Dorset Council as local planning authority over the Bibby Stockholm barge.

This follows a refusal of Mr Justice Holgate to grant the same claimant permission to judicially review the decision of the Home Secretary to station the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland Harbour without first obtaining planning permission. Nina Pindham also appeared on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Home Department in that matter. In both cases she is led by Guy Williams KC.

The matter is listed before Mr Justice Holgate for three days.

Nina Pindham has a wide-ranging planning practice. Learn more about her work here.
