520 _aWest London CC, 17 October 1997. Landlord H served a notice on 7 January 1997 to tenant V exercising the right to acquire a new lease of a flat. V`s solicitors signed the notice, specifying a date of 7 March 1997 by which H should respond. H`s solicitors contended that the notice was invalid because, 1) it did not comply with the Leasehold Reform, Housing & Urban Development Act 1993 s42(5) in that the specified date was less than two months after the date of the tenant`s notice, 2) it had been signed by V`s solicitors rather than the tenant themselves, and that in May 1997 V attempted to cure any defect by signing a document in the form of the January 7 notice and dating it January 1. "Held" notice invalid.
