Judgment Date: 14 Mar 2013

If a party was charged with drawing up a court order it was the duty of its solicitors and counsel to produce a draft that fairly reflected what they thought that the judge had decided or directed.

Where a freeholder of a property comprising separate apartments had granted a lease to a third party of the property's basement, which was used as a caretaker's flat, after a notice of a claim by tenants to exercise the right to collective enfranchisement had been registered, the lease was void, as it was contrary to the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 s.19(1)(a)(ii) because it was a lease of a common part which it was reasonably necessary for the tenants to have acquired.

Panagopoulos v Earl Cadogan (2010)

Judgment Date: 24 Feb 2010

This case raised issues as to jurisdiction and discretion under s.48 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. The landlord asserted that the tenant’s application under s.48 had been made too soon and that, no later application having been made, the tenant’s claim was deemed to have been withdrawn. In the alternative, the landlord sought an order under s.48(4) that the tenant’s claim should be deemed to have been withdrawn. The tenant disagreed, and various several further arguments in response, including an argument that the application was, in any event, made at the appropriate time.
