Regrant revisited
Williams, P.J.G.
Regrant revisited - 2001 - Estates Gazette (0110) 10 March 2001, 152(1) .
The first of two articles offering advice on leases. Looks at the rule of implied surrender and regrant. Explains how certain changes to leases will result in the creation of a new lease. For instance, if a landlord grants a lease to someone who is already his tenant, and for the same property, the current lease will have been replaced by a new lease. Explains, through examples, how the law on surrender and regrant is less clear in the instances of increases in the extent of the premises, and the length of the term of a lease. Notes that the parties' intentions in these situations are irrelevant.
