    Leon v Ken­sing­ton Mort­gage Com­pany Ltd & Anor (2023) and the con­cept of su­bro­ga­tion

    This briefing considers the concepts of "subrogation" and "bona vacantia" which were discussed in the recent case of Leon v Kensington Mortgage Company Ltd & Anor [2023] EWHC 121 (Ch). Where a surety or guarantor has to make a payment of the liabilities it has guaranteed to a third party, it will look to the principal debtor to reimburse it for that payment and to assist with this, the surety will have a right to be subrogated in relation to any security also held by the beneficiary of the guarantee. The beneficiary will want to ensure that these rights of subrogation only apply once they have...

    Spring Bud­get 2023 – key tax po­licy an­noun­ce­ments

    Today’s Spring Budget speech focused on moving the UK economy into growth mode. With the increase in the main rate of corporation tax to 25% on the horizon and fast-approaching, the Chancellor turned to reliefs rather than rate cuts to demonstrate his commitment to incentivising investment in the UK. For most businesses, the “headline” announcement in this area will have been the introduction of a generous full-expensing regime for capital allowances, but other important measures include the permanent increase to the Annual Investment Allowance, reforms to Research & Development...

    ‘We were on a break’… UK High Court rules that a lease break no­tice ser­ved over 4 years prior is va­lid

    On the specific facts of this case the High Court has held that a break notice served four years in advance of the break date was valid. The defendant tenant attacked the validity of its predecessor’s notice, but Judge Hodge KC found that those criticisms raised no triable issue to resist the claimant landlord’s application for summary judgement. In those circumstances, the break notice was a notice to quit for the purposes of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (“LTA”), and so the tenant was unable to serve a valid section 26 request for a new tenancy.BackgroundThe lease in...
