The recent cases "Mean Fiddler Holdings Ltd v Islington LBC" highlight the complexities of obtaining compensation where difficult points of law and jurisdiction have to be addressed first. The first case ([2003] EWCA Civ 160, X122498) addressed the preliminary issue of whether the way in which M operated its business was a breach of its lease and should therefore be excluded when assessing compensation. In the second case (ACQ/29/2001, AbsƯ) LT held that it had the jurisdiction to refuse to allow raising of issues where this would amount to an abuse of process.
