-
These conflicting cases deal with the time limit for making a general vesting declaration after a CPO becomes operative.
- In Westminster, the Court held that the serving of the preliminary notice was sufficient to constitute the exercise of powers within the 3-year limitation period.
- In Hastings, however, the Court took the view that the service of the preliminary notice was merely a warning.
