Melbury Road Properties 1995 Ltd v Kreidi

Summary

The Defendant had sought to obtain an extension to his lease under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. He had served a notice of claim, but the reversion had since been assigned by the reversioner on whom the notice had been served. The land was registered land, and no entry had been made in the register in relation to the notice. The Defendant sought to assert that the notice was still binding on the reversioner's successor, on various grounds (including under a constructive trust).

Facts

Held

The notice was not binding on the reversioner's successor, on any of the grounds put forward.
