Mark O’Brien O’Reilly, instructed by Joe Walker at Sharpe Pritchard, recently obtained summary judgment from the High Court on behalf of a local planning authority in a claim against a developer for unpaid section 106 contributions.

Mark obtained an order from the High Court for over £1.5m along with interest and costs. The unpaid contributions related to affordable housing contributions and contributions towards education and open space.

Mark acted for the successful Council throughout the proceedings. The case is a useful example of a LPA successfully obtaining a judgment in its favour by way of a civil action for a debt from the High Court, reflecting the essentially contractual nature of a s106 agreement.
