A valid application

By: Series: Estates Gazette ; (0408) 21 February 2004, 133(1)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Discusses a recent case "Norwich Union Linked Life Assurance v Mercantile Credit Co Ltd" ([2003] EWHC 3064 (Ch), [2004] 04 EG 109(1) (CS)) which questions the validity of a tenant's application to sublet. There is no implied requirement that an application for consent to a subletting must contain details of the proposed sub-rent. Copying an application for your information to the landlord's agent does not amount to service. Where a technically invalid application is processed by the landlord's agent, there can be no subsequent complaint about its validity.
