‘Gunn & Launders v Khan (2020) EWCA Civ 1905. This was an appeal by the landlord, Saakib Khan, of an order sentencing him to six months imprisonment for contempt of court for breach of an injunction. The injunction (still just about interim on the date of breach, as will become clear) was to prevent Saakib Khan from evicting or attempting to evict the tenant and from interfering with his quiet enjoyment of the property and from threatening him with violence or harassing, pestering, or intimidating him.’

‘Marlborough Knightsbridge Management Ltd v Fivaz (2021) EWCA Civ 989. In which the Court of Appeal grapple with whether a front entrance door to a leasehold flat is a “landlord’s fixture” or something else. This was the landlord’s second appeal from the Upper Tribunal decision we noted here, where the UT had found that the door was part of the demise under the lease, not a landlord’s fixture. The overall issue was that the leaseholder, Mr Fivaz, had replaced the front door to his flats. The landlord contended that this was a breach of lease under a covenant.’

‘It has been quite some time since I have blogged about expert determination. In fact, the last time was six years ago when I wrote about the Court of Appeal’s judgment in Begum v Hossain, which concerned the valuation of shares in an Indian restaurant. That was before the term “Brexit” had been coined and most of us were happily oblivious to the meaning of the word “furlough”. Therefore, Jefford J’s recent judgment in Maypole Dock v Catalyst Housing Ltd, which concerned an interim injunction to restrain the pursuit of an expert determination, caught my eye.’
