Inclusive Technology v Williamson [electronic resource]
- 2009
[2009] EWCA Civ 718, 7 May 2009. Relates to the issue of whether a tenant is entitled to compensation under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 S37a for damage or loss resulting from leaving its premises because of misrepresentation or the concealment of material facts on the part of the landlord. The landlord (W) had intended to carry out work to the premises occupied by IT, and needed possession to do this. W therefore refused a new lease to IT, who then had to find alternative accommodation, which turned out to be more expensive. In the meantime, W had decided not to carry out the work in the near future, however he failed to inform IT of this. IT claimed £90 000 compensation, based on the increased rent they were paying in the new premises. "Held": W should have informed IT about the work not going ahead, and IT were entitled to compensation, although the amount awarded was £48 000.
