520 _aSummarises and discusses the case of Leonora Investment Company Ltd v Mott MacDonald Ltd [2008] 136 (QB). Notes that service charges are usually important to commercial tenants who need to keep an eye on occupancy costs. Service charges can sometimes be greater than the rack rental. Covers the background to the case; the preliminary issue; the leases (including extracts from the lease); submissions and the decision. Finds this is an important case for landlords and tenants as well as managing agents. Concludes that the preparation and issue of service documentation is onerous but essential and must be done with the utmost care.
