- Summary
-
The lease in question related to a petrol station and was granted in 1964. The effect upon the value of disrepair was held to be measurable by reference to the trading potential of the business operating from the premises (a petrol station, shop, and motor trader). All were diminished in value to a figure which was less than the cost of the repairs and, accordingly, the landlord’s damages were capped at the lower figure.
