520			_aExamines the law of forfeiture relating to public houses and argues that the law should be updated to reflect changes in pub leases. The Law of Property Act 1925 s146(9)(c) states that pub leases can be forfeited without the service of a s146 notice. Considers the nature of pub tenancies in 1925 and shows how the situation has developed over the years with most pubs now let on long leases of great value to the lessee. Also argues that the definition of a public house has changed as many pubs today also serve food rather than relying on profits from alcohol sales. Summarises the negative effect of s146(9) on the licensed property market and recommends that s146(9)(c) should be repealed or it should only apply to short term leases.
