Friends Life Ltd v Siemens Hearing Instruments Ltd [2014] EWCA Civ 382
In Friends Life Ltd v Siemens Hearing Instruments Ltd [2014] EWCA Civ 382, the Court of Appeal held that a requirement that a break notice be “expressed to be given under section 24(2) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954” was a condition of exercise of the right to break the term of years and that, since such a right was in the nature of a unilateral contract, the Court had no power to hold that the requirement served no purpose and did not need to be complied with. Timothy Fancourt QC represented the respondent, Siemens Hearing Instruments Ltd.
