Breaking news in the case of Philips v Francis where permission to appeal was granted on 18th November as follows:
(1) Application to extend time (the application was originally lodged out of time);
(2) Permission to appeal; and
(3) Costs in the appeal.
The hearing of the appeal has not yet been listed.
We hope the Court of Appeal will clarify when a landlord/managing agent must follow the consultation process under Section 20 of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985.
