John v George and another

John v George and another - 1996 - Estates Gazette (1996) 08 EG 140-148(9) .

CA 4 September 1995. In 1990 buildings included in an agricultural tenancy held by J suffered storm damage. J and the landlord agreed to erect/convert three buildings on the site. Planning permission was granted for two. In 1991 the landlords (G) conveyed reversion of the existing buildings to the defendant trustees on trust for their daughter. In 1992 G served notice to quit on J under Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 Sch 3 Case B. The court below dismissed J`s contentions that G was estopped from serving notice to quit and relying on the planning permission having regard to the conduct of Mr George, and that the deed of gift did not sever reversion. Appeal allowed. Estoppel by convention applied.
