Removal of tenant’s fixtures – alterations

Peel Land & Property (Ports No.3) Ltd v TS Sheerness Steel Ltd (Unreported) (High Court – Chancery Division) (Morgan J) (1 August 2013)

Readers will recall that in our August 2013 issue – Commercial Leases [2013] Vol 27 Issue 6 at page 1962 we highlighted a substantive decision of a trial between these parties concerning what amounted to tenant’s fixtures and what rights of removal vested in the tenant. This case is the second stage in the dispute. The landlord sought an injunction to restrain the tenant from removing trade fixtures pending its appeal to the Court of Appeal against the first decision.
