‘On 28 January 2021 the Supreme Court will hear the appeal in Campaign to Protect Rural England (Kent) (Appellant) v. Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Respondent). The case concerns two issues. First, the extent to which a court can make an adverse costs order in favour of more than one defendant or interested party in a planning case, where permission to apply for statutory or judicial review is refused. Second, how the capping mechanism in the Aarhus Convention costs regime properly applies to cases in which permission is refused.’
