520 _aA dispute over commercial service charges showed that income may be irrecoverable if the landlord fails to follow the right procedures. A landlord, Leonora, sought a large amount of service charges from its tenant Mott Macdonald which it had failed to include in its quarterly charges in the past year or end-of-year statement. Mott argued it was not liable for the charge. The court agreed that the landlord could not revise the quarterly bills, but held that the landlord could correct its mistake if it served a revised end-of-year statement in future. The landlord can still get its money, but the current claim failed.
