Key legal question
Whether the demolition order could still be enforced despite the long delay under the principle of good faith.
Extracted holding
No. The owner had twice been clearly told that the structure was unlawful and had to be removed, so he could not rely on tolerated non-enforcement.
Extracted reasoning
Good-faith protection requires a legitimate expectation created by the authorities. Here, the owner knew exactly that removal was required and deliberately delayed compliance; he was not acting in good faith.
