Accountancy Personnel Ltd v Salters’ Company: CA 1972

The landlord opposed the grant of a new tenancy on redevelopment grounds. The judge found that the landlord had not established the requisite intention at the hearing date, but held that the intention would be established six months later. He made a declaration to that effect under section 31 (2) of the Act, which had the effect of terminating the tenant’s tenancy on that date. The tenant appealed. By the date of the hearing the landlord’s plans had been delayed.
Held: The Court of Appeal could take into account the evidence of delay and extended the termination date by a further three months
