Ltd v Tera Westend Ltd

[2026] EWHC 1485 (Ch)

JurisdictionUnited Kingdom

CourtHigh Court of Justice, Business and Property Courts, Chancery Division (on appeal from the County Court)

Year2026

StatusBinding authority

Key Principle

On a landlord's appeal, forfeiture for arrears was held invalid because, once a wrongfully withdrawn deposit was credited, no arrears existed; a rent-cessation (unfitness) clause did not suspend the tenant's service-charge liability; and the Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act 2022 does not retrospectively extinguish accrued rent debts.
