On the Case: A question of reasonableness

Jess Harrold joins Anna Favre, partner at Cripps Pemberton Greenish, to discuss the Supreme Court ruling in Sequent Nominees Ltd (formerly Rotrust Nominees Ltd) v Hautford Ltd [2019] UKSC 47; [2019] PLSCS 205 - in which the court ruled that a landlord's refusal of consent for its tenant to submit planning application for residential use was "reasonable".

Favre outlines the background of the case, analyses the court's decision - and explains why she found it so surprising. In addition, she addresses the potential significance of the case for landlords and tenants in the future.
