Barclays Bank v Kent CC

Barclays Bank v Kent CC - 1998 - Property, planning & compensation reports [1998] 76 P&CR 1-7(7) .

CA 24 November 1997. In July 1989 the CA determined that compensation awarded in February 1988 for land acquired from A was unsatisfactory and the matter was referred back to the LT for redetermination. A fresh award was made in October 1991 and the benefit was assigned to Barclays Bank (B). The LT ordered the council (K) to pay costs of both LT hearings. B successfully claimed interest on the costs in the High Court and K appealed on the basis that interest on costs should only have been payable from the October 1991 date. "Held" the original award had been set aside when the matter was referred for redetermination, the only effective award was that made in 1991, and the right to interest on costs could only arise from that date.
