 THOMAS MUIR (HAULAGE) LIMITED v. THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, TRANSPORT AND THE REGIONS, 25 September ...
As counsel submitted to us, despite the careful checking and correction of the record of prohibitions which the licensing authority carried out, neither he nor the Transport Tribunal applied their minds to the critical question of the degree to which the operator was culpable nor was the evidence explored to identify that critical issue.
It is important to bear in mind that the grounds with which we are concerned state that it is the conviction, the prohibition or the non-fulfilment of the undertaking which forms the basis for the direction.
Having reached a conclusion as to the extent to which he should accept the statement of defects as set out in the prohibitions, he was entitled to infer from their number and nature that there had been a failure on the part of the appellants to fulfil their undertakings.

In the light of the arguments advanced for the claimants on this appeal, it is pertinent to refer to the submissions on costs which the parties made to the Lands Tribunal.
We agree, however, with the Secretary of State that this is only a starting point; all the circumstances should be taken into account including whether the claim has been exaggerated and the relationship between the award and the contentions of the parties.
The third issue was, whether there was any distinction between (i) the approach which the Tribunal should take as to costs in cases of disputed compensation for the compulsory purchase of land and (ii) the approach which is taken by the courts.

 R v Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, ex parte First Corporate Shipping Ltd
Member States whose sites hosting one or more priority natural habitat types and priority species represent more than 5% of their national territory may, in agreement with the Commission, request that the criteria listed in Annex III (Stage 2) be applied more flexibly in selecting all the sites of Community importance in their territory.
Member States shall take appropriate steps to avoid, in the special areas of conservation, the deterioration of natural habitats and the habitats of species as well as disturbance of the species for which the areas have been designated, in so far as such disturbance could be significant in relation to the objectives of this Directive.
FCS submitted before that court that Article 2(3) of the Habitats Directive obliged the Secretary of State to take account of economic, social and cultural requirements when deciding which sites should be proposed to the Commission pursuant to Article 4(1) of that directive.

 Letter to Sec of State   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is also generally known that the Government's response in January 2004 to the Transport Select Committee's paper on Ports stated that "the promoters of those applications have a reasonable expectation of early determination and that it would be unacceptable to hold up decisions on those applications".
In the circumstances, to decide Dibden prior to receiving the reports on all the other proposals would be unlawful as in breach of the Regulations (particularly when those regulations are construed and applied purposively, as they must be given their origin in the Habitats Directive).
In the case of R (Medway Council and Others) v Secretary of State for Transport, which related to Gatwick Airport, the Court ruled that if an alternative which might be less damaging existed, then a comparative assessment of alternative solutions should take place.

 Bown v Secretary of State for Transport
In summary, the complaint is that the Secretary of State failed to treat the Taw and Torridge Estuary ("the Estuary") as having the status of a Special Protection Area for Birds ("SPA"), as required by EC law.
The Secretary of State concluded that there was nothing in the post inquiry correspondence to persuade him that the Estuary was likely to be designated as an SPA; and that there was no evidence of a breach of the UK's obligations under Council Directives.
Member States shall classify in particular the most suitable territories in number and size as special protection areas for the conservation of these species, taking into account their protection requirements in the geographical sea and land area where this Directive applies.
