[2010] EWHC 1280 (Ch) 11 June 2010. Concerns the problem of how to exercise break rights in leases effectively.

E, a separate company, served the break notice rather than A. H contended that the break notice was invalid because it did not bear A's name. "Held": HC found for H because the notice was misleading. No evidence proved that A had authorised E to serve the break notice. A should have signed the break notice.
