Tesco Stores Ltd v Dundee City Council was a case before the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in 2012. BackgroundTesco, a supermarket company had, in 2010, sought a judicial review of Dundee City Council's grant of planning permission to Asda, another supermarket company, on site within 800m of one of Tesco's own stores. The Court of Sessions, both the Outer House and the Inner House had refused leave.[1][2] Tescso claimed that the coucnil had failed to properly apply the sequential test. Tesco appealed to the Supreme Court. ArgumentsTesco said that where there was a dispute over meaning of a policy in the development plan it was for courts to determine the meaning. A planning authority attaching meaning to words they were capable of bearing, made an error of law.[3] Opinion{{Expand section|date=November 2016}}The court agreed that the meaning of words was a matter for courts, while reiterating that policy statements should not be read as statutory or contractual wording would, and decisions were subject to planning judgement. The exercise of planning judgement could only be challenged on the grounds that it was irrational or perverse. An error in interpretation would only be material if there was a reasonable chance that it would have affected the outcome. The court was not convinced that this was the case. The court dismissed the appeal.
