Cases

R v Jockey Club, ex p RAM Racecourses Ltd


Held

(1) The applicant could not rely on the Jockey Club report as raising a legitimate expectation that the applicant's racecourse would be granted at least 15 fixtures for 1991 as there had been no clear and unambiguous representation in the report that a new racecourse would receive such a right; (2) since the report had not been made directly available to the applicant it was therefore not within the class of persons who were entitled to rely on it; (3) it was not reasonable for the applicant to rely on the report without ascertaining from the Jockey Club whether its assumption in respect of fixtures for its new racecourses was correct.
