A thorough examination of delivering a corporation’s deed

Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council v Torkington Court of Appeal, 31 October 2003

Cases turning on the niceties of the execution of a lease are rare, but Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council v Torkington before the Court of Appeal (Peter Gibson, Carnwarth and Waller LJJ) on 31 October 2003 was such a case. It contains a thorough review of the difficult area of law and can readily be seen as likely to become a, if not the, leading authority on the topic.
