Course description
‘Intention to redevelop’ is conventionally summarised and sounds like a straightforward matter to prove. But ground (f) has been examined exhaustively by the courts, and there are potentially numerous issues to tackle.
The landlord’s subjective intention has been considered in the headline-making S Franses case in the Supreme Court, and subsequent decisions. The objective intention, relating to the landlord’s chances of bringing about its redevelopment scheme, continues to make for difficult judgements. The simplistic understanding may be that the landlord who goes to court with a planning consent in its back pocket can’t lose, while the landlord without one can’t win; but the picture is far more nuanced than that.
Presented by leading trainer Mark Shelton, this virtual classroom seminar will explore this complex topic in detail.

Introduction
‘Intention to redevelop’, as s.30(1)(f) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 is conventionally summarised, sounds like a straightforward matter to prove. But ground (f) has been examined exhaustively by the courts, and there are potentially numerous issues to tackle. Cases continue to emerge, bringing new problems.
The landlord’s subjective intention has been considered in the headline-making S Franses case in the Supreme Court, and subsequent decisions. The objective intention, relating to the landlord’s chances of bringing about its redevelopment scheme, continues to make for difficult judgements. The simplistic understanding may be that the landlord who goes to court with a planning consent in its back pocket can’t lose, while the landlord without one can’t win; but the picture is far more nuanced than that.
The legal issues may be unchanged: does the landlord have the required intention to redevelop, and are there too many hurdles in the way of the proposed scheme? But answering these questions continues to present new headaches as the legislative and commercial landscape changes.
