AN appeal over a potential multimillion-pound claim against Northumberland County Council has been dismissed. The Court of Appeal decision in the case between Leech Homes Ltd and the local authority was issued on February 19, 2021 and follows an Upper Tribunal decision last year. Coun. Nick Oliver, the cabinet member for corporate services, revealed at the Wednesday, February 24 meeting of the full council that had it been successful, the claim could have resulted in a potential £42million liability. The case relates to compensation following a compulsory purchase of land at East Lane Farm, owned by Leech Homes Ltd, which was acquired by the council to enable the construction of the Morpeth Northern Bypass.

The Old Stables Cafe, Towneley Park A COUNCIL is to repossess a cafe in the grounds of a historic hall after Court of Appeal judgement. The decision allows Burnley Borough to reclaims the Old Stables Café at Towneley Park from its current tenants. The local authority now plans to reopen the eaterie. The ruling by the Court of Appeal confirms Judge Mark Halliwell s decision last year that tenants Mohammed Majeed Faiz and Shakeela Faiz breached the conditions of their lease by subletting the premises to SASSF Limited without properly informing the council. They had argued both in the High Court in Manchester and the Court of Appeal that by accepting payments from SASSF limited the council had waived its right of forfeiture of the lease.
