The link says.................
The Government should decide in the next few weeks whether to contest Lewes District Councils challenge to John Prescotts Falmer decision.
Basically the Government has 2 options following Lewes's decision to challenge the ODPM ruling on 16 areas.
Option 1, which would suit BHA ideally, would be to accept that the ruling was flawed. This would mean that the decision would go back to the ODPM, and a new decision issued taking into account the 'Lewes objections'.
The second, more likely, option is that the Government will contest the objections and take the case to a Judicial Review. Hopefully at the same time some dates will be set for the review.
But why would option 1 be preferable, all that will happen is ODPM say yes again and LDC called JR again, thereby wasting another year or six, a JR on its own will either tell LDC to f*** off or send it back to the ODPM wont it, with the likelyhood being the FO answer
Or am I wrong

Surely option 1 would be preferable, as JP would say Yes, but take into account the objections of LDC, thereby removing their grounds for a Judicial Review. LDC could take this back to a JR, but they would have to come up with a whole new set of grounds for appeal?
Option 1 would in theory be quicker and cheaper for all concerned

Seriously?
Erm, what about LDC taking it to the European Court? Who could then overrule JP? Expensive but is it likely?

Surely that would depend on how long it takes to come to a decision
