 An example of when this happened was in "Allingham v Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries" where a notice preventing farmers from growing sugar beet was unlawful because the power to put up the sign was delegated by the original committee.Where a decision is made by a properly empowered department within a local council, s.101 of the Local Government Act 2003 allows for delegation.The court will quash a decision where the authority has misunderstood a legal term or incorrectly evaluated a fact that is essential for deciding whether or not it has certain powers.
