An update on Lexgorge Limited v Howard de Walden Estates Limited [2010] and the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.

NOTE (15.10.12): On 10 October 2012, the Supreme Court overturned this decision, holding that premises used solely for commercial purposes could not invoke the enfranchisement rights of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967. For details of the decision, see Legal update, A building used for commercial purposes cannot be a house "reasonably so called" (Supreme Court).
