The Statutory Trust Court Case Is Now Concluded - Thank You To All Our Supporters

The latest court case is now concluded. It hinged on whether the land of the former golf club is subject to a “statutory trust” under s164 Public Health Act 1875 - see SWP briefing notes. The Court's attention was drawn to two statements in the AELTG's Court papers. "It is admitted that if (contrary to the Claimant's [AELTG] case) s164 applied to the Golf Course Land it would preclude use of the Golf Course Land for the [current] Project". The 1993 Restrictive Covenants were also mentioned: "AELTG acknowledges that its proposed development would breach these covenants. Those are not issues that affect these proceedings but are for another day."

We are advised that we will hear the results of this court case in 'weeks rather than months' and as soon as the outcome becomes public knowledge we will let you know.

Thank you to the many supporters who joined us outside the Royal Courts of Justice on January 16th to mark the start of our latest court case and/or at the photo opportunity outside Southfields Station. Our demo was very successful as you can see from the extensive press coverage. Thank you also to the many who came to court or followed the case online. Our barristers could feel all the support, and it made a difference.
