Richardson v Midland Heart appeal is no more

05/03/2010

We have had confirmation that the appeal of the decision in Richardson v Midland Heart (our detailed note here), on shared ownership, assured tenancies and leasehold interests, has been discontinued.

Rumour has it that there is another appeal in a similar shared ownership case due fairly shortly, so this may well not be the end of the matter.

    Re: the next case – it’s in the High Court (Ch Div) this summer apparently on an A1P1 argument. Government has intervened.

    12 years on :) I dont even work in housing law now. I bumped into a housing association leasehold manager who manages shared ownership. I muttered to him about this case, he said the govt have said they are bringing in something that takes shared ownership properties out of tenancy law and into leasehold law (paraphrased) I dont know if this was hope or he has some specific information. I still advise people to avoid shared ownership.
