O’Connor and others v. Wiltshire County Council [2007] EWCA Civ 426
“A public highway was not necessarily constructed “on behalf of” a person who made some contribution towards the cost of its construction and the fact that someone had contributed towards the costs of construction did not prevent the highway being maintainable “at the public expense” for the purposes of s 36(2) of the Highways Act 1980 and s 19(3) of the Land Compensation Act 1973.”
