SUPREME COURT DETERMINES 1922 COVENANTS NOT A BARRIER TO REDEVELOPMENT AT THE REC
The Supreme Court yesterday (Tuesday 18 October) refused an application seeking to appeal the ruling of the Court of Appeal of 4 February 2022, allowing Bath Rugby to proceed with its planned redevelopment of its facilities at The Rec.

This brings to an end the long-running legal case relating to the 1922 covenants and paves the way for Bath Rugby to bring forward proposals for a new stadium. 

Bath Rugby Chief Executive Tarquin McDonald said: “We are delighted with this outcome. We acknowledge that this has felt drawn out and at times frustrating for the club, our supporters and the city. 

“It has been necessary to see this legal process through to its conclusion. Now that the Supreme Court has ruled, we finally have the certainty we need as a club to bring forward comprehensive proposals for a new stadium at our spiritual home, The Rec, located in the heart of Bath. 

“The club will be re-engaging with stakeholders across the city regarding the development project, and intends to bring forward and share its plans with the city in due course. This will regenerate the riverside, and provide outstanding facilities for rugby and the wider community which everyone in the city can be proud of. 

“We would very much like to thank our supporters and the wider city for all their support and patience throughout this complex and lengthy legal process.”
