Key Principle

On an application for dispensation from the s.20 consultation requirements under s.20ZA Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, the decisive question is whether the leaseholders would suffer relevant prejudice from the failure to consult, not whether the works were urgent; and the relevant accounts/registration position must be assessed against who holds the legal estate.
