520 _aCA 28 July 1995. The plaintiff (B) was tenant on the sixth and seventh floors of premises to which the defendant (S) was landlord. The lease required S to keep the building as a whole in `complete good and substantial repair`. In the summer of 1986 a bulge appeared in the brick cladding on the fifth floor external wall, and when S was informed on 1 September 1986 they immediately did preparatory work to carry out remedial work - which did not begin until February 1988. Meanwhile B brought proceedings against S for breach of repairing covenant, contending that a breach occurred as soon as a defect occurred, and not, as S contended, when notification of such defect was received. Appeal against earlier ruling in favour of B was dismissed.
