The important implications of recent case law on the strict interpretation by the courts of break option conditions has been provided by Taylor Wessing.<\/p>\n
Friends Life Ltd v Siemens Hearing Instruments Ltd<\/em> [2014] EWCA Civ 382<\/p>\n Summary<\/p>\n The Court of Appeal has held that a tenant's break notice was invalid, as it did not comply precisely with the mandatory requirements of the break clause in the lease.<\/p>\n The decision is further confirmation in a line of recent decisions that tenants must take great care when seeking to exercise a break option. The Court of Appeal has confirmed that break options are "if contracts" and exact compliance with their terms is essential. This decision illustrates that non-compliance with a condition on which the exercise of a break clause depends will preclude its validity, even if it is very minor or trivial in nature.<\/p>\n Further information can be found on th eTaylor Wessing website<\/p>\n > Break Options: Pre-Conditions Will Be Applied Strictly – Express Yourself<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The important implications of recent case law on the strict interpretation by the courts of break option conditions has been provided by Taylor Wessing.<\/p>\n Friends Life Ltd v Siemens Hearing Instruments Ltd [2014] EWCA Civ 382<\/p>\n Summary<\/p>\n The Court of Appeal has held that a tenant's break notice was invalid, as it did not comply precisely with the mandatory requirements of the break clause in the lease.… read the rest of “Break options - Pre-conditions strictly applied”<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":194,"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192\/revisions\/194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brierleyandcoe.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
