Considers the process of serving notices in regard of residential leasehold enfranchisement. Delays or incorrectly served notices can have serious unintended effects. Examines the recent case of Sinclair Gardens Investments v Poets Chase Freehold Co Ltd (L139826). This showed that notices served under section 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 which fail irretrievably need not be withdrawn. Tenants can therefore serve a fresh notice immediately.
