Orders need to be drafted correctly to ensure that all your hard work is not ‘thrown out’ on a technicality, but achieves the desired change. This course considers the tests to check to ensure you are making the correct type of order to achieve the purpose and how to draft it accurately.

A good understanding of general rights of way law and practice will be required. Pre-course reading will be provided to ensure a consistent starting level is met for the course.

Following consideration of the legislation and what orders are available to change rights and the definitive map, the day will largely be spent addressing the legal tests to ensure the correct order is made; drafting orders and notices for all types of order, followed by practical application and assessment.

Main topics

  • Which order and the right legislation
  • Using the correct legislative provisions in your order
  • Complying with the regulations
  • Accurate order and notice drafting

Learning Outcomes

  • Clear understanding of the legislation and process
  • Familiarity with the different legal provisions
  • Awareness of good practice in drafting orders and notices
  • Appreciation of the value and pitfalls of using templates
