Edstaff Ltd v Anglo Overseas Group (Properties) Ltd [electronic resource]
Language: English Publication details: 2008Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: [2008] EWCA Civ 243. A small claim ended up in the Court of Appeal because the decision of a lower court was wrong. The appellant landlord (A) allowed a company (E) licenses to occupy its premises for 18 months and agreed a discount if E paid all the rent in advance. E asked A to waive its one-month notice period to provide it with some security of occupancy. A agreed. E then left early, with one month's notice, and got a refund of the rent paid in advance from the County Court. E argued that the waiver of notice period did not apply to the tenant, only the landlord. Held: appeal allowed. The decision was reversed because the original decision was plainly wrong and there was no evidence to support it. A was entitled to keep all licence fees. The case shows that justice through the courts can take time and be very costly.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
