Summary

The underfloor heating (embedded in concrete) was defective. The cost of repairing it was going to be expensive. The tenant proposed that, as an alternative to actually carrying out that work, it would install night storage heaters that would be more efficient as well as cheaper. The landlord objected and the court agreed with it. The tenant was required to undertake the repairs.
