R (Day) v Shropshire Council [2023] UKSC 8
Feb 28, 2023
Landmark Chambers

Landmark barristers review the key factors in R (Day) v Shropshire Council in which judgment will be handed down on Wednesday 1 March 2023.

The case is a challenge to the grant of planning permission on land that was part of a recreation ground and raises the question: 

When a local authority disposes of land which is subject to a statutory trust for public recreational purposes and fails to comply with the relevant statutory requirements, does that trust continue or end; and, in either case, what are the legal implications for the authority and the disponee?

Alex Goodman and Kimberley Ziya acted for the Claimant (the Appellant in the Supreme Court).
