Forfeiture – s146 notice – need for particularity – validity of notice

Isabella Anders v Haralambous [2013] EWHC 2676 (QB) (Jay J) (23 July 2013)

This case considered the adequacy of a notice given pursuant to s146 Law of Property Act 1925. It raises and emphasises the point that care must be taken over the drafting of such a notice to make clear to the recipient lessee what the nature of the alleged breach is. We highlight the case in brief to raise awareness but readers who prepare or advise on such notices would do well the study the full judgment.
