Former district judge Stephen Gold covers a recent landlord and tenant case that was leapfrogged to the Court of Appeal due to its importance, in this week’s NLJ. The case, Switaj v McClenaghan, concerns a check-out fee.
Gold also covers a case where a credit hire claim ‘was complicated by the fact that the claimant’s damaged car had no current MOT’. The ‘so-called alternative causation defence’ was used. Gold writes: ‘Remember not to run this defence. The Court of Appeal disliked it.’
Gold also covers debt relief moratoria—'the creditor’s nightmare’.RELATED ARTICLES
