Facts

Weir and 48,000 other shareholders of Railtrack claimed that Stephen Byers’ decision to force Railtrack into administration amounted to the tort of misfeasance in public office and a breach of the Human Rights Act 1998, on the theory that their property had been deprived. The shareholders raised £4m together to fight the case. They argued their property was expropriated without adequate compensation.

Judgment

Lindsay J rejected the claims.
