Commercial properties – rent review – trigger notice – time of the essence – where a landlord had failed to serve a trigger notice in the time specified in the lease, whether the landlord had lost his right to trigger the review for the original review date

Summary

A seven-year lease with a rent review date at the end of the fourth year required the landlord to serve a trigger notice during the fourth year but the landlord did not serve it until just after the end of the fifth year. Time was not of the essence and this delay did not mean that the landlord lost his right to trigger the review for the original review date.
