Coventry Airport –
Enforcement Action & Injunction Proceedings
Following a two day hearing at the High Court last week, the Council is awaiting the courts decision on the case.
The Judge, Justice Mrs Gloster, listened to the Airport’s submission to have the case struck out (dismissed). The opposing view was strenuously put by the Council.
If the case is found for the Council our intention is to seek an early date for a full hearing of the injunction.
If the case is dismissed, the Council intends to continue with the separate enforcement action against the Airport and will defend any appeal against the action at a public local enquiry.
In either scenario, injunction or enforcement, the Council intends to proceed as quickly as possible in fully resolving matters.
To clarify the Airport’s statement of Friday last, the Council can confirm it has withdrawn the interlocutory (preliminary) hearing but only in order to proceed more rapidly to a full injunction hearing.
Head of Planning & Engineering, Mr John Archer said: “We are now in waiting for the Court’s judgement. We feel we have been given a full and fair hearing, and will await the outcome.”
