The Equitable Remedies

Question 1

South Buckinghamshire District Council v. Porter [2003] UKHL 26; [2003] 2 AC 558

This is, inevitably, a sensitive process, since it constrains the freedom of private owners to use their own land as they wish. But it is a very important process, since control, appropriately and firmly exercised, enures to the benefit of the whole community.’
