The tenant's solicitors served an originating application for a new tenancy, under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, on the landlord's estate agents who had been handling the negotiations for a new lease. The judge found, and it was not challenged in the Court of Appeal, that those estate agents were not duly authorised to accept service.
