Manchester City Council v Muir & Anor [2006] EWCA Civ 423 (20 March 2006)

Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Appeal From County Court Decision

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the consultation requirements under section 1E of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 were satisfied for an application for an anti-social behaviour order under section 1B
  2. 2 Whether the issue of consultation, once decided by HHJ Holman, could be re-litigated before HHJ Armitage
  3. 3 Whether procedural irregularity occurred due to misinformation provided to HHJ Armitage about the previous decision

Ratio Decidendi

The issue of consultation under section 1E of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 had already been determined by HHJ Holman and was binding; HHJ Armitage erred in rehearing the issue and dismissing the application on that ground. The procedural irregularity of misinformation further invalidated the dismissal.
