Covenants: compliance

Covenants: compliance - 1992 - Estates Gazette Case Summaries 1992 EGCS 83 20/6/92 .

"Bairstow Eves (Securities) Ltd v Ripley" CA 10 June 1992 accepted the landlord`s argument that the tenant was in breach of covenant for failing to carry out repairs as specified in clauses 2-5 of the lease and had therefore invalidated the option to renew lease. Overturned CC`s ruling that the failure to carry out repairs was a technical breach only and was therefore a misdirection in law. Appeal allowed.
