- 2010
[2010] EWHC 1459 (TCC), 13 July 2010. Concerns the recovery of repair costs and consequential losses by the landlord of an office block left in disrepair. Claimant P was the landlord of an office block, of which the defendant outgoing tenants were R and L. P spent £5m on refurbishment after expiry of the lease. P sought to reclaim £4m and interest from the defendants by way of damages for dilapidations and failure to reinstate. "Held": in favour of claimant P but the amount P can now recover is less than its costs. Dilapidations claims have to be reasonable: replacing the cladding rather than repairing it was not reasonable.
