What a relief!

Payne, S.

What a relief! - 1992 - New Law Journal 142(6534) 10 January 1992, 22-23(2) .

Discusses the issues and consequences of the Lords` ruling on the Billson case, overturning the Court of Appeal decision which prevented tenants claiming relief from forfeiture, once a peaceable re-entry by their landlords has followed a s146 notice. Most affected by the latest judgement are sub-tenants and mortgagees who previously had no right to be informed of the serving of such a notice on the mortgagor or tenant, and thus had no opportunity to seek relief prior to the landlord`s re-entry.
