Consulting on charges
Article Abstract:
A case heard in the UK Court of Appeal has helped to clarify the meaning of Section 19 and Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. A landlord had charged his tenants for additional work on their premises with out informing the tenants before the work had been started. The courts ruled the landlord would not be able to recover extra money spent on the repairs. The judge pointed out if the landlord had told the tenants about the extra work the court may have ignored the fact the landlord had not consulted with the tenants or given them any estimates.

Assuredly significant
Article Abstract:
A case heard in the UK Court of Appeal found a tenant could appeal against a case he had won because the tenant had not fully succeeded in gaining all he had wanted from the case. The landlord had claimed an appeal would not be worthwhile. The tenant wanted to resolve the problem of the status of his tenancy. If the tenancy was an assured shorthold tenancy the landlord could terminate the tenant's possession by issuing a new notice. The orignal case had occurred because the dates on the tenancy agreement and the notice were inconsistent.
