Reports the outcome of the appeal in Patel v Chiltern Railway Co Ltd [2008] EWCA Civ 178. The case is a useful reminder to practitioners to follow procedure. The appellant tenant (Patel) had argued the business tenancies she had entered into were not contracted out properly, and thus she had security of tenure. Covers the health warnings regime; brief facts of the case and the outcome. Held: the appeal was dismissed. Suggests that whilst the landlord won the case, the expense and delay incurred means that it is wise to avoid any scope for argument in the first place.
