We noted Craftrule Ltd v 41-60 Albert Palace Mansions (Freehold) Ltd when it was in the High Court (see our note, here). I won’t repeat our earlier note – it’s basically about what it means to be a “self-contained part of a building” under s.3, Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (collective enfranchisement; though it’s also relevant for those doing Right to Manage work under s.72, Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002). The Court of Appeal has now upheld the decision of the High Ct ([2011] EWCA Civ 185). There is no requirement that the smallest possible “part of a building” be enfranchised, so, on the facts of the case, a building of 20 flats was still a self-contained part of a building, notwithstanding that it was also possible to constitute it as two self-contained parts of 10.
