Summary

'... having regard to the prepositions describing the operations as "in, on, over or under land", the concept ... must be whether the physical character of the land has been changed by operations in or on it, secondly whether the physical character of what is under the land have been changed, for example by mining operations under the land, and, thirdly, whether the physical characteristics of the air above the land have been changed by operations ... over the land.' (Lord Parker CJ)
