SUBSIDY CONTROL

July 20th, 2026 by James Goudie KC

THOMAS v DURHAM COUNTY COUNCIL (2026) CAT 47 holds that under Section 70(1) of the SUBSIDY CONTROL ACT 2022 an APPLICATION FOR REVIEW OF A SUBSIDY DECISION might be made only once the authority had taken a FORMAL FINAL DECISION to give a subsidy ( or to provide assistance which the applicant considered to be a subsidy, even if the authority disputed that characterisation). Section 70(1) did NOT grant the Tribunal jurisdiction to review any earlier decision in the decision-making process , such as a provisional or “ in principle “ decision.
