Government's HS2 consultation 'not unfair'
by Mike Pearse
The Government has not acted unfairly in its consultation on HS2 says High Court.
It is not "irrational or unlawful" for the Government to want to promote the bill for the £32bn scheme.
The court is satisfied that while some individual people or groups may not have had opinions taken into account during the consultation the issues were taken into account.
HS2 compensation consultation deemed 'unlawful'
The High Court ruled that the consultation process for compensating those affected by the HS2 high-speed rail scheme "was so unfair as to be unlawful".
The decision was a victory for the High Speed 2 Action Alliance (HS2AA), which consists of more than 70 affiliated action groups and residents' associations.
The HS2AA case was one of five separate cases brought to block the rail scheme in its current form - it was the only case to succeed.
Mr Justice Ouseley, sitting at London's High Court, is now hearing submissions from lawyers on the appropriate remedy.
