T W Logistics Ltd
Respondent(s)
Essex County Council; Ian James Tucker
Issue
How does the legislation prohibiting various activities on town or village greens interact with the registration regime, given the rule that the public’s activities on the land before registration may co-exist with those of the landowner, and must do after registration.
Facts
The Council has registered part of the Port of Mistley, owned by TWL, as a Town or Village Green. By the Commons Act 2006, land is registrable as a town or village green if it is land on which "significant number of the inhabitants of any locality… have indulged as of right in lawful sports and pastimes on the land for a period of at least 20 years… ." TWL challenges the registration, arguing that its effect would be to criminalise many of its activities in operating the Port.
