Estates Gazette Podcast: What the Supreme Court ruling in Duval means for lease covenants

Following the handing down of the judgment in The Supreme Court case of Duval v 11-13 Randolph Crescent, Joanne Wicks QC and Emer Murphy have recorded a podcast where they discussed the significance of the case with EG’s deputy legal and professional editor, Jess Harrold.

Joanne and Emer, who represented the appellant landlord in the case, discuss the court’s reasoning, the wider application of the ruling and the issues it will raise for landlords and tenants of blocks of flats. In addition, they address how practitioners may adapt their lease drafting moving forward.
