This month: two cases regarding options (one, about perpetuities, involving both of us; the other, about s 28 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, involving James Andrews-Tipler), and a long and important decision about statutory trusts for public recreation (in which Jonathan Karas KC and Caroline Shea KC were involved).

Judgment has been delivered in the case of All England Lawn Tennis Ground Ltd v Save Wimbledon Park Ltd.

The Claimant, the All England Club, was represented by Jonathan Karas KC (Falcon Chambers), James McCreath and Jonathan Chew (both of Wilberforce Chambers) instructed by CMS. The Defendant was represented by Caroline Shea KC (Falcon Chambers) and Rupert Cohen (Landmark Chambers) instructed by Russell Cooke.
