Litigation - Landlord and Tenant
27 October 2011
On 26th October the Court of Appeal considered the question of notices under the Housing Act 1988. The Court found that a tenant was not normally expected to expore, or think about why, a Lanldord has served a notice in connection with a lease. They should simply take it on its face value. There was no ambuiguty as to the meaning or effect of the notice served and if read planly, on a natural and objective reading, it was clear that the notice complied with the meaning of the Act.
