One take I saw on it was that he has no case because the local authority were not responsible for the harm caused to him, such as it is.
Sure, he feels aggrieved because of the local authority's refusal to accede to his demands to search the landfill, but that's secondary. Had he never pursued it they would not have had to say no.
In his shoes, I'd be sick to my stomach every single day, but I might have given up sooner nonetheless. I'm pretty sure that due to sheer bloodymindedness he's now in deep with various financial backers who were hoping for a return when he succeeded... and now he owes them money.
Basically, if this doesn't stop him, I'm not sure he'll ever stop trying.
