The rescission application was declined because the earlier Judge's decision was not shown to be wrong; the distinction between an easement being 'no longer of practical effect' and 'redundant' was immaterial, and s316(3) requires service on affected persons except where the court directs otherwise, so extinguishing a property right without notice was inappropriate in the circumstances.
