R (Lewis) v Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council; [2008] WLR (D) 246
“Where, in relation to a question whether user of land had been user as of right, the issue of deference arose as between a landowner and other people making use of the land, the question was how the position would have appeared to the landowner, rather than to the other users, and what would matter to the landowner would be the fact of deference, not the reasons for it.”

Newport City Council v Charles; [2008] WLR (D) 245
“A local authority’s right to possession against a person succeeding to a tenancy on the death of a family member other than a spouse on the ground that the accommodation was more than he reasonably required was not an interest in land capable of giving rise to a proprietory estoppel against the tenant. Accordingly, a tenant who concealed his mother’s death for three years in order to avoid being moved to a different property could not be ousted on that ground because the time limit for doing so had expired before the local authority discovered his mother had died.”

Allen and others v GMB [2008] EWCA Civ 810; [2008] WLR (D) 243
“The striking of a deal by a trade union with a local authority as to terms and conditions of employment pursuant to a national collective agreement establishing a ‘single status’ common pay and grading structure for all local authorities, which deal attempted to achieve compensation for some union members for past pay inequality as well as ongoing pay and employment protection for all members, was indirectly discriminatory since it constituted the application of a provision, criterion or practice which applied equally to men but was to the detriment of a considerably larger proportion of women than of men and since the means adopted by the union to persuade members to accept the deal, including mis-selling and manipulation, were not proportionate to the union’s legitimate aim of achieving single status with the minimum of losers.”
