Public right of way over non-tidal river - 1990 - Times 7/9/90 p33 .

In Attorney-general ex rel Yorkshire Derwent Trust Ltd and another v Brotherton and others, CA 31 July 1990, it was held that there was nothing in the literal meaning of the words used in the Rights of Way Act 1932 quite apart from any consideration of the pre-existing law or the mischief which the Act was intended to remedy, which suggested that the Act was not intended to include public rights of navigation over a non-tidal river.
