Central London Property Trust Ltd V High Trees House Ltd
''Central London Property Trust Ltd v High Trees House Ltd'' 947KB 130 is a famous English contract law decision in the High Court. It reaffirmed and extended the doctrine of promissory estoppel in contract law in England and Wales. However, the most significant part of the judgment is '' obiter dicta'' as it relates to hypothetical facts; that is, the landlord did ''not'' seek repayment of the full wartime rent. Denning J held estoppel to be applicable if Facts High Trees House Ltd leased a block of flats in Clapham, London from Central London Property Trust Ltd. The agreement was made in 1937 and specified an annual ground rent of £2,500. The outbreak of World War II in September 1939 led to a downturn in the rental market. High Trees struggled to find tenants for the property and approached Central London Property Trust in January 1940 to request that the rent be lowered. A reduction to £1,250 per year was agreed in writing, though the duration was not specified a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
