At least a few of the NL team will be doing the 2014 London Legal Walk. The walk is a well established event to raise funds for the London Legal Support Trust. This is an independent charity that raises funds for free legal advice services in...
As we noted when writing up Superstrike Ltd v Rodrigues [2013] EWCA Civ 669 (see our note, here), the case left open an interesting - and important - question. If a fixed term has expired and a statutory periodic tenancy arisen, do the requirements...
