This is not a Gypsy or Traveller case.

This drilling activity was to be investigatory and was for the purpose of establishing whether there were hydro carbon deposits underneath the land that were capable of being exploited using a technique known as “fracking”.
Re R (Children: temporary leave to remove from jurisdiction)
Re R [2014] EWHC 643 (Fam), 3 March 2014
This is not a Gypsy or Traveller case but a family law case.
Most (if not all) legal aid firms and organisations who provide legal aid, since the setting up of the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) in April 2013, have encountered enormous difficulties in dealing with the LAA. This case makes reference to such difficulties.

R (Hand) -v- SSCLG
R (Hand) -v- Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government [2014] EWHC 314 (Admin), 23 January 2014
Town and County Planning Act 1990 Section 171 B (3) states that enforcement action can be taken against the use of land in general within 10 years from the use commencing. However, use of a building as a dwellinghouse becomes immune from enforcement and, therefore, lawful after 4 years.
