High Speed Rail Bill Select Committee: Locus Challenge and presentation

The Committee will hear its last locus standi challenge on Monday 21 July, 2.00pm. A presentation on land and property compensation will follow after.

What is a locus standi challenge?
 
Locus standi is the right of a petitioner to appear before the Select Committee based on their petition documents demonstrating adequately that they are directly and specially affected. It can be challenged if the promoter of the Bill disagrees that there is a direct and special effect. In that event, the Committee decides whether there is a right to appear. You will be notified if your petition is to be challenged.
