Commons Registration - The Process For Removing
Betterment Properties (Weymouth) Ltd v Dorset County Council
Ch D
2 March 2007
Weekly Law Notes Summary
The jurisdiction conferred upon the court to amend a register of town and village greens under s 14 of the Commons Registration Act 1965 was not an appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, the court was free to adopt the procedure best calculated to enable a just and fully informed decision to be reached as to whether no amendment or a different amendment ought to have been made to the register, whether it was just to rectify the register, what should stand as evidence and what evidence should be admitted.
