Overly complex? - 2003 - Estates Gazette (0347) 22 November 2003, 150-151(2) .

Defines the term overage with examples. Highlights problems which can occur with overage provisions in the development process with reference to recent case law. "Akasuc Enterprise v Farmar and Shirreff" ([2003] EWHC 1275 (Ch), [2003] PLSCS 127) demonstrates what can happen with poor security arrangements; "Bride Hall Estates Ltd v St George North London Ltd'' ([2003] EWHC 927 (Ch), [2003] PLSCS 105) deals with supplemental agreements whilst "MoD v County and Metropolitan Homes (Rissington) Ltd" ([2002] EWHC 2113 (Ch), [2002] 44 EG 170 (CS)) shows how important it is to keep on top of paperwork. Stresses the importance of clarity in the working of overage provisions.
