Nat Duckworth acts for the landlord in live/work planning case

The Court of Appeal has handed down judgment in AHGR v Kane-Laverack, a second appeal in which the issue was whether the term “live/work unit”, in a planning permission and a user covenant in a lease, meant “live and/or work” or “live and work”.

Nat Duckworth acted for the appellant landlord instructed by @Colman Coyle.  The judgment can be found here
