High Court dismisses a claim for compensation by a landowner who alleged that his property was wrongfully designated as a candidate special area of conservation, resulting in deprivation of use and benefits, on the grounds that the plaintiff lacked locus standi as he was not the owner at the time of designation, and that any potential claim was statute-barred; and the plaintiff's case was misconceived, as the notifications received did not affect his property rights or create a new cause of action.
Locus standi - candidate special area of conservation (cSAC) - statute-barred - compensation claim - property rights - double recovery - High Court - Order 19 rule 28 of the Rules of the Superior Courts (RSC) - inherent jurisdiction - conservation directive - habitat protection - judicial review - plenary summons - amended statement of claim - property arbitrator - Acquisition of Land (Assessment of Compensation) Act 1919 - Property Values (Arbitration and Appeals) Act 1960 - constitutional rights - abuse of process.
