Herrick and another v Kidner and another [2010] EWHC 269 (Admin), [2010] All ER (D) 186 (Feb)

The construction to be placed on ss 130A-130D of the Highways Act 1980 was that they were designed to enable members of the public to compel highway authorities to protect and assert the rights of the public to go wherever they chose on a footpath so long as it was reasonable, usual and appropriate.
