Cadogan v McGirk
[1996] 1 WLR 1056; [1996] 4 All ER 643 (CA)
Key Principle
The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 is not to be construed strictly merely because it is expropriatory of the landlord's interest; the court must construe it fairly so as, if possible, to give effect to the advantages Parliament intended to confer on tenants, while not extending rights beyond Parliament's intention.
