Window on disputes
Bisson, Julian
Window on disputes - 2008 - Estates Gazette (0838) 27 September 2008, 136-137 .
Looks at recent cases in which dilapidations at lease end have been the central theme. Various suggestions are made to simplify such disputes, including clear lease terms as regards the subject matter of any covenants; vacant possession and the importance of alternative forms of dispute resolution. The author comments that litigation over dilapidations is a particularly time consuming and unproductive area, and that if all other methods have been exhausted those bringing such cases must be willing to come to court with a well developed case, supported by sufficient arguments and evidence.
