Today, the Court of Appeal will hear Braintree District Council’s appeal from the decision of Waksman J dismissing its application for a S. 187B injunction to halt the Home Secretary’s plans to use land at RAF Wethersfield to accommodate asylum seekers.
West Lindsey District Council, Rother District Council and Gabriel Clarke-Holland (a local resident) have been granted permission to intervene in writing.
The two issues are: the ambit of the prohibition on commencing enforcement proceedings against the Crown on Crown Land under s 296A; and the scope of Class Q in the GPDO. Two of the intervenors have asked the court not to determine the second issue.
Paul Brown KC and Nick Grant appear for the Secretary of State.
Isabella Buono and Rebecca Sage assisted at earlier stages of the proceedings.
Alex Goodman KC and Charles Bishop represent Mr Clarke-Holland.
