Brady v Norman – WLR Daily

Posted February 10th, 2011 in defamation, law reports, personal injuries, time limits by sally

Brady v Norman [2011] EWCA Civ 107; [2011] WLR (D) 40

“The policy behind the limitation period for defamation cases being shorter than that in personal injuries claims was clear, since the defamatory impact of libel or slander was likely to be transient and Parliament evidently intended that a claimant should assert and pursue his need for vindication speedily. Considerations as to prejudice in applications for the disapplication of the time limit in defamation cases were likely to be different than those in personal injuries cases and in defamation cases it was for the claimant to make out a case for the disapplication of the normal time limit.”

R (Cala Homes (South) Ltd) (No 2) v Secretary Of State for Communities and Local Government [2011] EWHC 97 (Admin); [2011] WLR (D) 39

“A stated intention by the Government to abolish regional strategies and to promote legislation for that purpose was capable in law of constituting, for the purposes of section 70(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, a ‘material consideration’ to which planning authorities could have taken regard in making determinations of applications for planning permission. The Secretary of State’s announced intention to abolish regional strategies did not compromise the duty of local planning authorities under section 19 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended) to have regard to regional strategies when preparing a development plan or any other local development document.”
