Service of notices

Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust v Haywood [2017] EWCA Civ 153

Regular readers will know that we are anxious to draw attention to cases which impact on the service of a notice. Most strategies in the commercial landlord and tenant sector are founded on a valid notice (or counter-notice) being given in the right form, to the right person at the right address specifying the required information. Whilst this case concerns the service of a notice to bring a contract of employment to an end, some observations were made concerning notices in our sector that may be helpful to practitioners.
