They're not actually being greedy. If I was in their shoes I would do exactly the same thing. Business is business.
Why shouldn't they ask for £25m, or whatever the actual amount is? They are after all a business, and not a charity. I would do exactly the same as them were I in their position. And I've a feeling I wouldn't be the only one. Anyone who doesn't is a fool imo.
The law allows them to appeal a CPO, and they are. If the builders were outside, trowels at the ready, I believe Levy would have settled with them.
The law looks dimly on frivolity.
A good analogy would be how I'm looking at the contents of your post right now.
