Beware Highway Cases Involving Flooding
Thu, 01/06/2006 - 00:00 — Georgina Smith
If you have highway cases involving flooding, beware the very recent (judgment given on 11th April 2006) High Court case of The Department for Transport v Mott MacDonald Limited (as yet unreported)
The Judge held that a Highway Authority was not liable for blocked drains / inadequate drainage which caused water to come onto a road.
However, leave to appeal was granted, so stays all round may be the sensible way forward at this time.
