Forfeiture and peaceable re‐entry: a review of recent developments

Abstract

Asks when it is possible to forfeit the property lease for breach of covenant. Considers the rules and limitations under which this right may be exercised in the light of a recent decision made by a Court of Appeal. Argues that this decision represents little more than a papering over archaic and arbitrary rules. Advocates the programme of reforms recommended by the Law Commission.
