Landlords Succeed in Overturning Unfairly Prejudicial CVA 5th November 2010

Two landlords were recentlly successful in persuading the High Court that a Corporate Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), under which they stood to lose the benefit of a guarantee for their rent, was ‘unfairly prejudicial' to them as defined by Section 6 of the Insolvency Act 1986.Although the CVA was claimed to have offered the landlords 100 per cent of the sum they would have received had the insolvent company surrendered the leases, they produced evidence that the actual sum they stood to receive under the CVA was a mere third of that sum.With the current degree of uncertainty in the commercial property market, a guarantee of rent is a valuable thing to have. The court ruled that it was unfair to require the landlords to give up their guarantees, even if there was a payment made in consideration for so doing.The case, which follows a similar ruling in 2007, will be greeted with relief by landlords.The contents of this article are intended for general information purposes only and shall not be deemed to be, or constitute legal advice.

Brother Succeeds to Tolerated Trespass Property Right 5th November 2010

A tolerated trespasser is a person who has had an eviction order made against them but who remains in occupation of the property with the landlord's acquiescence because they continue to pay rent.Since the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 came into force, a new tolerated trespass cannot arise because, in the above circumstances, the tenant is now granted a new tenancy similar to that which they would otherwise have had.However, there remain existing tolerated trespassers and the court recently had to determine what happens on the death of someone who occupies a property on this basis. Normally, when a social housing tenant dies, the next of kin have the right to continue the tenancy. In the circumstance in which the property is occupied by a tolerated trespasser, however, there is no tenancy to which the next of kin could succeed.The case was brought by a man who had moved in with his brother to look after him prior to his death. His brother was a tolerated trespasser and when he died, the council applied to obtain possession of the flat. The case reached the Supreme Court, which found that the man should be given the right to succeed to his late brother's ‘tenancy'.The decision will come as a relief to family members of people who occupy their properties as tolerated trespassers.The contents of this article are intended for general information purposes only and shall not be deemed to be, or constitute legal advice.
