In this Newsflash episode, Lizzie Collin is joined by Richard Snape, Head of Legal Training at Davitt Jones Bould, to unpack Ramsbury Properties Ltd v Ocean View Construction Ltd [2024], a decision that examines the limits of landlord enforcement where lease terms are breached.The case raises fundamental questions about:What actually constitutes a breach serious enough to justify termination.How strictly lease terms will be enforced by the court.The risks landlords face.The steps tenants can take to protect their position.Richard explains how the court approached the dispute, what it tells us about the balance between contractual certainty and commercial reality.For landlords, it’s a reminder that enforcement powers are not unlimited.For tenants, it highlights where the law offers protection, and where it does not.If you work in commercial property, this is a case worth understanding. Get in touch!
