- 2007
[2007] EWHC 546 (Ch), 12 March 2007. The claimant (C) applied for summary judgement on a claim for specific performance of two agreements for commercial leases between C as landlord and the defendant (R) as tenant. R subleased commercial premises from C under two separate subleases, each contracted out of the security of tenure provisions. When the subleases expired, pending renewal of the leases, R was given a licence to remain on the same terms as the subleases. R claimed that the purported licence was a protected lease; therefore it was entitled to remain beyond the expiry date of the agreement was entitled to tenancy rights, namely security of tenure. Held: judgement for claimant. The agreement was clearly not intended to grant a tenancy. The licence was a stand alone transaction with a clear, separate purpose.
