‘Where a vehicle was damaged as a result of negligence and was reasonably repaired, the measure of the claimant’s loss was the diminution in value of the vehicle, usually taken as represented by the reasonable cost of repair. If the claimant’s insurer arranged repair, the reasonableness of the repair charge was to be judged by reference to what a person in the position of the claimant (rather than the insurer) could obtain on the open market and the insurer’s repair costs were recoverable from the tortfeasor up to that amount, together with the reasonable cost of a courtesy car.’

‘The determination of whether prior approval was required for the development of agricultural buildings under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 required a summary assessment and the principles relating to applications for planning permission under section 70(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 were not material considerations for that purpose. Furthermore, the National Planning Policy Framework guidance was inapposite in such cases, and section 66(1) of the Planning (Listing Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the case law thereunder was of no application.’
