KXO & Anor v Devon County Council

The Court’s permission or approval is not required for the discontinuance of these claims under CPR 38 or CPR 21.10 because the notice was unilateral and not pursuant to a settlement or compromise. The Notice of Discontinuance brought the proceedings to an end as of 5 January 2026, save for costs. The claims were in any event totally without merit due to the availability of an alternative statutory remedy. The Claimant’s Litigation Friend is liable for the Defendant’s costs, to be assessed if not agreed, but not to be enforced without leave of the Court.

  • Judicial review procedure
  • Discontinuance of proceedings
