- 1991
- Estates Gazette (1991) 14 EG 108-111(4) .
ChD 17 December 1991. The main issue was the validity of a notice to quit . Two solicitors , executors of an estate, served the notice, which was on their firms`s headed notepaper and which wrongly named the landlord as the beneficiary of the estate. At that time the executors were the landlords; the beneficiary only being entitled to the land in equity until the completion of the administration of the estate. It was held that the notice was valid as the tenants had not been seriously misled.
