Hibbert v Wycombe District Council & Anor [2016] UKFTT CR-2015-0014 (GRC) (16 May 2016)

The Tribunal found that the CAMRA branch satisfied the requirements of regulation 4 and 5 of the Assets of Community Value (England) Regulations 2012, as the local authority had verified the existence of at least 21 local members on the electoral roll, and the branch did not distribute surplus to its members. The appeal was therefore dismissed.
