In a counternotice landlord (B) proposed a premium of £175,000. A contended B's counternotice was invalid, as it failed to admit A's claim, and claimed entitlement to an extended lease at the amount specified in his claim notice. "Held". Claim dismissed. A had been unreasonable in thinking B's counternotice did not admit the right to a new lease. The counternotice was valid for the purposes of s45(2)(a) of the 1993 Act.
