From moths in the attic to the right to manage, 2024 provided a plethora of landmark real estate litigation cases. In this week’s NLJ, Ben Hatton, director of property litigation, Jordan Gulwell, lawyer, and Natasha Vij, trainee solicitor, at Clifford Chance, survey the stand-out cases and set out some lessons to learn from each.
These include the £36m claim regarding moths in a Notting Hill mansion, in which the High Court has just handed down judgment. Who could have guessed these little winged creatures could cause such havoc?
Other issues highlighted in the past year include whether a roof garden is an extra storey and the scope of the right to manage a mixed-use development. Hatton, Gulwell and Vij provide a succinct and informative overview of the main cases.RELATED ARTICLES
