Sheffield Development Corporation v Glossop Sectional Buildings Ltd

Sheffield Development Corporation v Glossop Sectional Buildings Ltd - 1994 - Estates Gazette (1994) 40 EG 132-134(3) .

CA 30 June 1994. G served a blight notice when informed that S was to compulsorily acquire its property. Deeming that S had served a notice to treat G issued a statement of claim and announced close of business in March 1991. S did not require the property until April 1992. G turned to the LT for determination of compensation and ceased trading in July. The CPO was confirmed in August 1992 and S took possession on February 1993. At an earlier hearing the court decided that the LT was not entitled to determine compensation as G had ceased trading. The LT considered that the Land Compensation Act 1973 s46 was satisfied by S`s notice to treat. S appealed, claiming that no such notice had been issued and the terms of s46 had not been met. Appeal dismissed.
