Waiving and drowning handling break notices with care

Gilbert, Dellah

Waiving and drowning handling break notices with care - 2011 - Hogan Lovells Real Estate Quarterly Summer 2011, 7-9(3) .

Examines recent case law highlighting the difficulties encountered by tenants in serving valid break notices, specifically "MW Trustees Limited, Robert Posel and Pamela Posel v Telular Corporation"[2011] EWHC104 (see L152967). Sets out the legal framework, both statute and case law , relating to the service tenants' contractual break notice. Provides an analysis of the facts of 'Telular' and the judgment which may have turned the tables in favour of tenants. Tenants should take legal advice to ensure the valid operation of a break clause because the consequences of getting it wrong can be disastrous. Landlords also when receiving potentially defective should get legal help.
