‘The COVID-19 pandemic (‘the Pandemic’) and its consequences have had a massive effect on public, private and business life in this country and elsewhere in the world. This Hearing has concerned questions as to upon whom (landlords, tenants and/or insurers) certain of the resultant financial detriments should fall, and, in particular, whether tenants of commercial premises have remained responsible to pay their rents notwithstanding that they have been subject to the enforced closure of, or inability to trade from, their premises.’
