Building Blocks: Betty’s Cafes Ltd v Phillips Furnishing Stores Ltd [1959]

Richard presents the dispute in Betty’s Cafes Ltd v Phillips Furnishing Stores Ltd (No.1) [1959]. The landlord opposed a new lease primarily by making a s.25 notice on ground F, which is intention to demolish or reconstruct/ carry out substantial works. Referencing Cunliffe v Goodman [1950], this was the first HL case to be heard under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
