Dale Farm resident withdraws human rights legal action against Basildon
A Dale Farm resident has withdrawn a human rights case against Basildon Council over its clearance of the settlement.
The High Court had been set to hear the case later this month, with Mary Flynn expected to argue that Basildon’s enforcement action was a breach of her human rights.
However, she has now dropped the case.
Flynn's application for an injunction was rejected by Mr Justice Parker on 31 August.
Cllr Tony Ball, Basildon’s Leader, said: “I welcome that this case has been dropped and that no more court time or public money is wasted.
“This is further evidence that the council has acted lawfully and fairly throughout this process and only ever wanted to uphold the planning laws of the land.”
