The fundamental message is that the Highways Act 1980 s.36 (2) (a) does what is written on the box: a highway built by a highway authority is accessible at public expense (“hm@pe”). The crucial questions are in all cases (a) was a highway at the time of the accident?; and b) was it built by a motorway authority? It doesn`t matter when it was built, or what the highway service planned when it built it. It does not matter whether it was built by a council that performs a motorway function (unlike any other function). If it is a highway and it was built by a motorway authority, it is hm@pe and an obligation is due under the Highway Act 1980. The danger that the case highlights for the motorway authorities is that there could be motorways built by them or their predecessors, who did not carry them out, are motorways (and therefore hm@pe). With respect to the first argument (that Abram does not have its motorway authority), the Commission encountered the problem that this argument was rejected in letter 18 of Sedley LJ`s judgment at Gulliksen/Pembrokeshire County Council [2003] QB 123, where it stated that a Council was a “one-storey enterprise”. In other words, if it has a function of motorway authority, when it builds a highway, it is a motorway authority that builds the highway, regardless of the “hat” it wears (i.e. the function it performs). Note that the relevant part of the law s.36 (2) (a) (highway built by a motorway authority) is. If it was created by someone else, it cannot enter this subsection.
In this case, it is not said that the paths in the parks are hm@pe. All he is saying is that if a road in a park is a highway, if it was built by a highway service, it is hm@pe, no matter when it was built and there was an intention to devote itself from the beginning. Please provide a list of all current 38-Highway section agreements. By the agreements in force, I mean if the road has not been formally adopted, but is covered by an S38. Keep in mind the first important point for motorway councils/authorities: roads through parks are not necessarily highways. The Council stated that the road was a highway. The issue was not properly addressed in this case, with both parties merely working on the basis of this litigation. The defendants on the highway should be very careful. Although Mathew understands the desire to get out of the McGeown trap, (a) he could turn against him; and b) councils should be aware of their duty of authority and claim only things they deem to be right.
In this case, the Council could of course have really believed that this lane was a highway. Councils should always be more concerned about the fact that they are dealing with an accident on a highway before they say so. You should object to any desire to assert that a road that could be a highway (or not) is a highway just to get out of the McGeown trap. Many motorway authorities already have a highway register (and I mean only “highways” – soft public roads – rather than hm@pe) and might want to check that there are no highways they have built, which are treated as highways, but which hm@pe not. In accordance with the 1980 law, road authorities are legally required to keep a list of hm@pe on their territory, in accordance with the 1980 law. This may be a good time to verify that they are meeting this obligation. I represented the complainant retained at the Barlow/Wigan Council [2019] EWHC 1546 (QB). I also represent many motorway authorities, and I have had a number of calls/emails from the people concerned that have had a considerable impact on local authorities. Don`t panic. The case is not surprising. I explain below what it does and how the accused of the motorway authority can avoid the same problem.
2. Whatever hat they wore when they built the road, he did not intend to dedicate it as a highway, so that it was not built as a highway and could not be a highway built by an authority
