This is an example of particulars of claim, which could be used as a starting point when drafting a claim for relief against forfeiture of a lease of commercial premises.

The particulars of claim are drafted on the assumption that the forfeiture was for non-payment of rent and took place by peaceable re-entry. It must be adapted to the specific facts and circumstances of the claim and is to be read in conjunction with the accompanying information in the drafting notes, and the following Practice notes:

CPR 55 procedure for possession of commercial property.

Leases: Re-entry and forfeiture.

Forfeiture: a practical overview.

An N5A Claim form must be used (Practice Direction (PD) 55A. paragraph 1.5, CPR 4 and HMCTS, Guidance, List of civil court forms arranged by subject matter: Starting proceedings).
