Teesworks has lost a High Court bid to block the region’s Brookfield-owned port, the UK’s fifth largest, from any access rights to its land.
The South Tees Development Corporation had sued PD Teesport in 2021, seeking a ruling that the port operator had no rights of access across the former steelworks it was regenerating next to the port in the north east of England.
Following a trial in the High Court late last year, a judgment handed down on Monday by Mr Justice Rajah upheld PDT’s access claims across three parts of the site.
