Injurious affection
Language: English Series: EGCS ; 1990 72Publication details: 1990Subject(s): Summary: In Stedman and others v Braintree DC , LT 8 May 1990, it was held that the valuers for both parties agreed that the private road had a nominal value only. However, any purchaser would consider that control over the road had a value and this was more than the sum of £100 contended for by the acquiring authority. Although neither party had put in values for the retained land,a figure of £5,000 for injurious affection and reflecting the value of accommodation works was appropriate. There is no specific right to recover the cost of accommodation work and it was unfortunate that the claimants carried out work without discussing it with the acquiring authority.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
