Gordon, Warren
Blowing the recovery - 2008 - Property Week 73(34) 22 August 2008, 53(1) .
Discusses the case of Leonora Investment Company Ltd v Mott McDonald [2008] EWCA Civ 857, 23 July 2008, (see L145457). The case turned on whether a commercial landlord could claim the cost of improvement works as a service charge where there had been a failure to comply with the procedure set out in the service charge clause in the lease. The appeal was dismissed. The case is a timely reminder to landlords that they must follow all procedural requirements strictly in recovering service charges in the lease, otherwise recovery may not be possible.
