Daejan Investments v Benson [2013] UKSC 14
The landlord had failed to comply, in some respects, with the consultation requirements under s.20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 in relation to major works to a block of flats. The lower courts had all refused to grant dispensation to the landlord. The Supreme Court held that dispensation should be granted, on terms. Nicholas Dowding QC and Stephen Jourdan QC acted for the successful landlord.
