Sideways look

Vara, B.

Sideways look - 2003 - Estates Gazette (0301) 4 January 2003, 62-63(2) .

Discusses the issue of side agreements and how subleases must be interpreted in the light of any side agreement. Outlines the recent case of "Homebase Ltd v Allied Dunbar Assurance plc" (CA Abs65749), where the practice of side agreements used by tenants to get round clauses prohibiting subletting on terms other than in the lease, was ruled by CA to be invalid.
