- Court of Appeal
The Court refused to order a blanket moratorium or a general duty requiring Ministers to direct Crown entities and SOEs to refrain from disposals; the Ministers' Reviewable Decision declining such a moratorium was lawful and reasonable in the administrative law context, and the enhanced Land Protection Mechanism and undertakings offered provided adequate interim protection. Substantive questions of breach, proprietary remedies and accounting remain for the High Court Trust Proceedings remitted by the Supreme Court.
