Notes: 
Successful claim against Defra for failure to transpose Habitats Directive; and against Wightlink for unlawful introduction of larger W-class vessels on its ferry service which was a "plan or project" for Habitats Directive purposes but there being no appropriate assessment and with the decision by Wightlink as a competent public authority tainted by commerical considerations.
