Lord Bracknell said:
1. Falmer Parish Council's application for their costs to be paid by the Football Club - apparently on the grounds that the Public Inquiry was only necessary because the Club failed to submit enough information for the City Council to have considered the application properly in June 2002 and (on the basis of the information that was presented at the Inquiry) any right minded Council would have turned the stadium down. This obvious outcome would have avoided the need for Falmer Parish Council to have employed an expensive barrister and all the assorted bat experts that they have paid for. Therefore the Football Club should cover all their costs.
Did they succeed?
