- Court
- High Court
When the vendor was a company that had been struck off and thus did not exist at the time the land was declared surplus, it was impracticable to offer the land back to that vendor; the Chief Executive lawfully and fairly exercised s40(2)(a) discretion, s330(2) does not render prior lawful Crown actions unlawful on later restoration, and there was no obligation to notify the former director/shareholder to seek reinstatement prior to declining offer-back.
