This module will consider specific issues relating to cancellation of commercial contracts and leases, including a discussion on recent case law in this area.

  • Essentiality – what is the test? Are the Courts in agreement? Divided?
  • A look at the statutory right to cancel for breach of lease under the Property Law Act 2007
  • Cancellation letters and notices – are they necessary? What should/shouldn’t they include? What are the Courts saying?
  • A brief look at remedies and relief
  • Key messages.
