"Rosen v Trustees of Campden Charities" CA 30 November 2000. Before 1850 the then Trustees of the Campden Charities put up the site of Kensington Workhouse for sale. The successful builder R undertook to build 29 houses on the site, upon completion he was to be granted a 99-year lease from December 1849. In 1952 the trustees granted R a 99-year lease, by which date No 25 was complete. The issues of the appeal were, for the amount payable by R for the freehold of No 25 under the Leasehold Reform Act s9(1A), whether the orginal building constituted an improvement and, at the time of construction if the builder was the tenant of the long lease of No 25. Appeal dismissed.
