Too quick off the mark

Too quick off the mark - 2003 - Estates Gazette (0311) 15 March 2003, 151(1) .

Article considers the implications of the ruling in the case "Go West Ltd v Spigarolo" ([2003] EWCA Civ17, Abs66452) which raised two important points. First, a landlord's response to a tenant's application for a licence to assign necessarily bringing to an end the reasonable time allowed by the Landlord and Tenant Act 1988, and second, continuing negotiations preclude the tenant from seeking damages under the Act only where there is clear evidence of waiver.
