Uncertain times

Uncertain times - 2001 - Estates Gazette (0143) 27 October 2001, 182(1) .

Discusses the court's ruling in "Liverpool City Council v Walton Group plc", in which the enforceability or otherwise of an agreement for lease was considered. The ruling suggests that a lease, or an agreement for lease, will usually be void unless it contains a certain commencement date. Notes that this must either be expressed in the agreement or inferred from the language and circumstances of the agreement.
