Admissibility disputes

Stroude v Beazer Homes Ltd CA TLR 28 April

The claimant claimed a right against the defendant under an agreement under s 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. He applied for a preliminary ruling that certain evidence would be inadmissible and for summary judgment. The judge’s initial instinct was that the ruling on evidence would probably have been better left to the judge hearing the application for summary judgment, but he was persuaded by both parties to rule on the matter at that stage.
