Pine Valley bought land for development on reliance of outline planning permission but was then refused planning permission on grounds land was not suitable. Incurred massive losses and blamed Government for negligence (essentially land was misrepresented as being suitable for development when had been earmarked for agricultural use to retain green belt - planning permission had been granted to previous owner of land on appeal). Case went to High Court and Supreme Court before going to European Commission of Human Rights who then sent it to European Court of Human Rights. In November 1991 judgement dismissed Government's case.
