Peaceable re-entry questioned
- 1991
- Times 1 November 1991, 15(1) .
The House of Lords is to review a CA decision, which allowed peaceable re-entry of an unoccupied property since warnings of a breach of the lease need only be sent to the property and not necessarily to the leaseholder. 14 days is sufficient time to apply for relief from forfeiture and the courts have no jurisdiction once the landlord has taken possession after a breach of the lease. Legislation is expected to change the law.
