Hughes v Borodex Ltd [2010] EWCA Civ 425; [2010] WLR (D) 106
“A tenant who had made extensive improvements at her own expense to the flat which she held on a long residential tenancy was not entitled to have those improvements disregarded by a Rent Assessment Committee fixing the rent of the new assured periodic tenancy of the same premises. On the proper interpretation of Sch 10 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, the improvements fell to be taken into account even though the effect was that the new rent as assessed exceeded the statutory maximum for protection as an assured tenant, the tenant lost her protection and the landlord became entitled to serve a notice to quit.”

“The stragglers among the stranded volcano victims may be arriving home but we are not out of the ash cloud yet. Indeed — from a legal perspective — the crisis has barely started. Only now, as people dust themselves down and turn to the paperwork, can we start to get a glimmer of what lies ahead. And like the volcanic ash itself, the issues arising will drift across the legal landscape from airlines to regulators, insurance companies to ordinary employers who have only a remote interest in the airline business.”

“The British constitution, Lord Bryce once said, ‘works by a body of understandings which no writer can formulate’. But these ‘understandings’, insofar as they relate to a hung Parliament, have now been formulated in a Cabinet Office manual produced under the aegis of the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Gus O’Donnell. I was involved in helping to draw it up.”

That said, he is in a position to voice judicial concerns across a broad apolitical front.”
