Express Dedication at Common Law (EDCL)
This paper provides a legal basis for both the Defra Guidance and an analysis of the benefits of using highway creation through express dedication and acceptance for landowners and the public who want to use this method to create bridleways. A protocol to enable authorities to accept and correctly record express dedications at common law is also included.
