Judgment handed down in Cooper v Ludgate House Ltd and Powell v Ludgate House Ltd
Fancourt J today gave judgment in the long awaited case of Cooper v Ludgate House Ltd and Powell v Ludgate House Ltd in which the owners of two adjoining flats sought an injunction to require the developer of the Bankside Yards development to pull down part of the development on the grounds that it interfered with their rights of light.
John McGhee KC acted for the developer leading Kester Lees KC and was instructed by Matthew Baker, Sarah Campey and Pierre Smith of Pinsent Masons LLP.
The court refused injunctive relief and awarded the flat owners only a small proportion of the sums they had sought as damages in lieu of an injunction.
