Landlord & tenant

Craftrule Ltd v 41-60 Albert Palace Mansions (Freehold) Ltd [2010] EWHC 1230 (Ch), [2010] All ER (D) 267 (May)

Neither expressly nor by implication did s 3 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 require that a self-contained part of a building should be indivisible into smaller such parts.

Further, the natural implication of ss 4(3A) and 13(8) to (10) of the Act was that, in the absence of special provision to the contrary, an initial notice might relate to a self-contained part of a building which was capable of further sub-division.
