Refurbishment work does not amount to construction - 1989 - Times 11/8/89 p30 .

In Barth v Pritchard and Another , CA 27 July 1989, it was held that the landlords were not entitled to oppose the grant of a new tenancy on the ground that they required possession to carry out refurbishment work. The works entailed non-structural internal works which did not constitute "substantial works of construction" under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 s30(1)(f) .
