Court of Appeal gives judgment on meaning of “house”
Day v Hosebay Ltd, Howard de Walden Estates Ltd v Lexgorge Ltd [2010] EWCA Civ 748
On 1 July 2010, the Court of Appeal delivered judgement in two important linked cases on what is a 'house' for the purposes of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967. It was held that buildings which were originally built as houses were within the statute even though they were being used for business purposes; in the first case, to provide short-term accommodation for tourists, and in the second, as offices. Anthony Radevsky acted for the successful tenants in both cases.
