Happily, yesterday, the House of Lords, by a majority of 3-2, overturned the inconvenient decision of the Court of Appeal in Scottish & Newcastle plc v Raguz [2008] UKHL 65 – thereby taking away minor awkward estate management issues for landlords.
See http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKHL/2008/65.html. This case will feature in the November issue of the CPI Update, to be published at the end of this week.
